Zoom Zoom Zoom By The Numbers

Zoom became our supported video conferencing tool about 18 months ago.   Everyone at the Laboratory can be automatically provisioned for an account.  Zoom provides both audio conferencing (including by regular old telephone dialin) and clear sharp video conferencing and screen sharing.  Let's check in on a month at LBL with Zoom...

Here's a snapshot of Zoom use at LBL in February:
