Zoom Resources

Some of the ways SMC students can use Zoom

Faculty and staff can record meetings to Zoom Cloud.  Zoom Cloud recordings are deleted every year after Commencement Weekend.  Students must record to their local devices.

Instructors (and others creating and sharing content in Zoom) share the responsibility of ensuring that content is provided in a way that is accessible to everyone in the course.

Zoom provides the ability to create captions as a meeting takes place. This requires that someone manually type in text as the meeting takes place. For more information on this feature please see the Closed Captioning documentation from Zoom. More information can be found on the Zoom Accessibility page.
