The University adopted Zoom as a service in 2020 in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Our current Zoom license expires at the end of this week. Pitt IT met with the Council of Deans on March 7 to present options for renewing Zoom. Based on a broad consensus from deans, Pitt IT will purchase a base Zoom service for all students, faculty, and staff. The base license enables meetings with up to 300 participants and significantly reduces the University’s renewal cost.
