Zoom Meeting

Zoom Meeting is a normal Zoom license that allows the creation of meetings for up to 300 people. Users can hold a maximum of two meetings simultaneously with one license. Members of the TU Dresden (employees, students and guests) automatically receive a licensed Zoom account by logging in using the ZIH login via the Zoom website.

Note: Certain features such as cloud recording and Zoom Apps are deactivated within the TU Dresden Zoom account due to data protection reasons.
