Zoom enables the organization of online meetings, classes, webinars, and remote collaboration activities in support of the teaching and educational responsibilities of academic staff.

Zoom Workplace fro Education Enterprise Essentials licenses are available, providing the ability to host:

• Zoom Meetings,
• Zoom Webinars,

with a duration of up to 30 hours and a maximum capacity of 500 participants.

In cases where a Zoom Webinar is expected to exceed 500 participants, a special webinar license is available through the Digital Governance Unit (DGU), allowing participation of up to 1,000 attendees.

Participants

There are no restrictions on participants (e.g. students) joining Zoom Meetings or Webinars.

Meeting and Webinar Hosts

The service is provided to support the University’s educational activities. Therefore:

• Faculty members, Laboratory Teaching Staff (EDIP), and Emeritus Professors are automatically entitled to a Zoom Enterprise Essentials license, provided that they sign in to Zoom using Single Sign-On (SSO) with their institutional account.
• Other categories of teaching staff should submit a request for the assignment of the appropriate Zoom license by sending an email to support@auth.gr. To facilitate prompt processing, they should include the full Sign-In Email displayed on their profile page after signing in to https://authgr.zoom.us/profile using their institutional account.
• The Digital Governance Unit (DGU) performs periodic reviews and may revoke licenses assigned to instructors who are no longer affiliated with Aristotle University of Thessaloniki or who no longer require access to the service.

For Zoom Webinars expected to exceed 500 participants, hosts must submit an application for a temporary Zoom Webinar 1000 license, which supports up to 1,000 attendees.

Other members of the AUTH community who do not hold a full Zoom license may still host Zoom sessions using their institutional account, with a maximum meeting duration of 40 minutes and up to 300 participants.
