Use of Zoom in the Academic domain (Research and Education) will be discontinued starting July 2024. We have adopted Microsoft Teams as the primary videoconferencing platform. All UConn Health employees have access to Teams as part of the Microsoft 365 Office Suite. Information and guides on using Teams can be found on the main Information Technology website here: https://hub.uconnhealth.org/administrative/information-technology/products-and-services/office-365

Use of Zoom in clinical operations will not be affected and will continue.
