Zoom Participant

Overview
A Zoom participant is a person who joins a Zoom meeting, either through a link, meeting ID, or phone call. Participants can interact with other participants using audio, video, and chat features.
Getting Started

Best Practices

- It is recommended for any NDSU activities including class sessions and work meetings to log into the NDSU Zoom portal or desktop client. Most meeting hosts require authorization to attend. This ensures a secure virtual meeting space for all participants.
