Zoom is a video conferencing platform that allows users to create and join virtual meeting rooms where they can communicate with each other using video, and audio. Additional features can give participants the ability to share their screen, share files, and use text chat within the meeting group or privately with others in the meeting.
In order to gain access and use Zoom, you must use the DOE-licensed version of Zoom. But it's easy: just sign in with your DOE account credentials.
Enter your DOE student account email address (it ends in @nycstudents.net).
If you don't know your DOE student account email, visit DOE Student Accounts.
Enter your password.
Click Sign In.
If the username and password entered are valid, you will be signed into the remote learning portal successfully.
