UC San Diego Zoom Web/Video Conferencing

Zoom allows for video, audio, and screen sharing between participants. It can be used from any computer, laptop, tablet, or phone, and it works on PC, Mac, Android and iOS devices.

All campus faculty, staff, teaching assistants and enrolled students currently have Zoom Pro Meeting accounts. If you need capacity greater than 300 attendees, Zoom Large Meeting and Zoom Webinar licenses are available. 

Anyone in the world can join a Zoom meeting, but only a host can schedule meetings.

  2. Click Sign In to claim your UC San Diego Zoom Pro account using Single Sign-On (SSO)
  3. Use the app or webpage to start, join, or schedule meetings.

AI Companion

Zoom’s AI Companion is now available for UC San Diego Zoom (https://ucsd.zoom.us). While the Zoom AI Companion is disabled by default, UC San Diego Zoom users may optionally choose to enable AI features under their individual Zoom account settings. Our Zoom AI Companion page provides feature documentation as well as the privacy and data security considerations of using AI assistants, such as Zoom AI, to capture administrative meetings and educational meetings and classes. 

Ensuring the ethical use of AI and maintaining a balance between automation and human input is crucial for maximizing the benefits while mitigating the risks. As such, the Campus Privacy Office authored guidelines to assist UC San Diego in embracing the benefits of these technologies while reducing the risks associated with them.

Note:

It is important to review the entire Guidelines for uses of AI Assistants on the Privacy Office's website. There you will find full definitions, allowable and prohibited uses, authorized users, and approved tools. Please also realize that the General Guidelines for Capturing Administrative Meetings, Capturing Educational Meetings and Classes apply to all meetings where capturing occurs "by automated or technical means including recording, using AI assistants (e.g., Zoom AI Companion, Otter.ai), or enabling transcriptions."
