Do I need the Zoom webinar extension for my online teaching?

With the Zoom license of the University of Basel, live teaching events can be held via video conference (so-called "meetings") with up to 300 participants. Upon request to the IT service desk, the maximum number of participants can be increased to 500. In addition to audio and video, various functions such as chat, polls or breakout rooms are available. The functions in Zoom-Meeetings cover the needs of highly interactive events as well as non-interactive lectures and can be adapted to the needs of your own courses in the settings. In addition to such "meetings", Zoom also provides a webinar platform, but this is less suitable for university courses, as some features of interest for teaching are not available (e.g. breakout rooms, meeting responses, file transfer, waiting room). If you need the webinar functions for other purposes, please contact the IT Service Desk (supportits@ unibas.ch or phone +41 61 207 14 11).
