Can I use Zoom video conferencing at UCT?
UCT-licenced Zoom accounts are available, but these must be paid for by your department. However, the preference is that you rather use Microsoft Teams, as it doesn’t carry a cost (whereas Zoom licence fees apply). Teams is also better supported in our environment. To learn more, read: Zoom at UCT.
