To broadcast online events, the University has obtained licenses for the Zoom video conferencing system. This will be used for online lectures. As a participant you can use Zoom with a client software, an app, or just with an internet browser. You do not need an account or a license. If you wish to test out Zoom beforehand you can create a free account.
As a second option, the Informatics Department is hosting a BigBlueButton system with Greenlight frontend. This will be used for tutorials, seminars, labs, and other classes. Students do not need to create an account. BigBlueButton also runs in the browser.
