To join a Zoom, you need an invitation link or alternatively the meeting ID and, if applicable, a meeting password. This must be communicated to you in advance by the Zoom organizer (email, calendar, ADAM, etc.).
If you do not have an invitation link but only a meeting ID, you must manually start the Zoom software on your device and use the "Participate" / "Join" function there.
The following explains how to install Zoom and - if available - link an existing account.

Hosts and co-hosts in Zoom have the possibility to record meetings/lectures/conferences (there are guidelines of the University of Basel). However, these recordings are not automatically available to the participants. The host must upload the recording to a suitable platform such as SwitchTube, Panopto or ADAM and share access with you. Please ask the host or co-host for the appropriate access.
Zoom offers the possibility to apply a virtual background and various effects. Various images from the university are available in the virtual background library. However, you can also load and display your own backgrounds.
Most of the effects (video filters) look funny, but do not serve any real function. Color filters can be applied, as well as various masks. Color filters change the whole image, masks contain elements like glasses, hats and other elements.
