The University of Basel has a Zoom license with a capacity of 300 participants per meeting. Upon request to the IT Service Desk, the maximum number of participants can be increased to 500. Transmission problems usually occur due to insufficient WLAN connections of the participants. In such cases, it can help to turn off video and audio output at the participants' end (i.e., participants can see and hear, but cannot be seen and heard). This can be controlled centrally by the host.

You probably have an account on Zoom.us. All members of the University of Basel (i.e. lecturers, staff and students) will be able to log in to https://unibas.zoom.us/ in the fall semester 2020 using your Unibas or Stud.unibas email address. To connect an existing Zoom account to the Uni Basel license, please follow the instructions in chap. 5.4 at https://tales.nmc.unibas.ch/de/online-lehrveranstaltungen-17. If you encounter problems logging in with your unibas or stud.unibas address, please contact the IT Service Desk directly (support-its@unibas.ch or phone +41 61 207 14 11).

Guests can be invited to the event in Zoom by the seminar leader and provided with presentation rights accordingly. To give the guest full host rights, activate the "Co-moderator" function in your Zoom settings under "Meeting". Afterwards, you can designate someone as host in each meeting in the participant administration. They can then leave the meeting themselves without ending it for the others.
