Web Conferencing

Web conferencing enables two or more individuals to meet “face-to-face” or “voice-to-voice” from almost any location in the world. A web conference combines video, audio, phone and internet technologies to facilitate a real-time connection.

In addition to transmitting audio and video, users can exchange documents and collaborate with virtual “white boards” and chat. At Clark, we use web conferencing for:

Meetings;
Conferences;
Lectures;
Distance learning;
Interviews;
Instantaneous file-sharing/collaboration.

ITS can provide equipment, support and training to meet the varied conferencing needs you may have.

Zoom

Zoom is a video conferencing platform known for its ease of use, high quality HD video and audio, and collaboration facilities such as text chat, screen sharing and breakout rooms. Attendees can join a Zoom meeting without an account, but must log in with a licensed account to host a meeting.

All Clark community members have fully-licensed accounts (previously called Pro accounts), which allow meetings for up to 24 hours, with up to 300 participants.

Teams

Microsoft Teams is a powerful communication and teamwork tool that allows Clarkies to keep working and learning regardless of where they are on campus or around the world. Teams is the perfect tool for regular, small team or person-to-person collaboration and meetings.

All Clark users have access to Teams with their Clark University email account.

Livestream/Vimeo

Livestream isn’t a true web-conferencing tool but is used to allow users to view and broadcast video content. Hosts can stream live video or broadcast pre-recorded video in their channels to a virtually unlimited number of participants.

Media Services can support events that wish to use LiveStream broadcasting
