Attention GC Students,
Zoom video conferencing services are now available to all active GC faculty, staff, and students. Zoom is a cloud-based, full featured, video and audio-conferencing service which allows online collaboration. The service is used for online teaching, training, remote support, audio calls, and meetings. The service allows participants to engage in synchronous online meetings from a conference room solution, a mobile device, personal computer, or phone. Participating via a smart phone or computer will allow the users to share both live video and share content from the device.
All active CUNY students, faculty and staff will be able to use their CUNY Login credentials to access Zoom at https://cuny.zoom.us
Simple select “Sign in,” and you will be redirected to the CUNY Web Applications Login page. Sign in using your full CUNYFirst username and password, then click “Login”.
Main features include:
- Real-time high-definition video/audio conferencing using your computer or mobile device
- Up to 300 participants for meetings and 500 for webinars

Please note, it is not necessary to have a Zoom account in order to join and participate in meetings. An account is only needed if you wish to host your own meetings. Also, faculty and staff that currently have a GC Zoom account will continue using their existing account with their college login credential until they are contacted to switch their GC Zoom account to the CUNY Zoom account.
