Boston University utilizes the Zoom platform for synchronous class sessions. As a student, you may also decide to use Zoom for connecting with your peers or interacting on projects. The videos and resources below offer an overview on how to access your Zoom class session, and how to set up your own meeting with your peers.

You may download and install the program on Boston University’s dedicated Zoom page

Should you mute yourself? Use video? Find answers to these and other questions on the Writing Program’s Remote Learning Expectations and Etiquette Guide.

Most people will need to download and install the “Zoom Client for Meetings” option. If you anticipate needing to log in through your mobile phone (or as a back-up in case you get disconnected in the middle class), download the “Zoom Mobile App” option on your phone or tablet. The “Zoom Extension for Browsers” (currently available for Firefox and Chrome) is an optional but convenient way to access your scheduled Zoom meetings through an extension directly in your browser.
