Zoom - Distance Communication Options for Non-Extension

Division of Extension Employees and Integrated Specialists (Extension Staff) use Zoom as a distance communication tool in support of their work and educational efforts. Extension Staff are not allowed to set up meetings or webinars on behalf of non-employees. Non-employees have multiple distance communication options available to them (listed below).

Background
