Since UGA went to online instruction and remote work, there has been a drastic increase in Zoom usage.

Between March 30 and April 17, UGA units spent about 15.6 million minutes on Zoom.

Some of the biggest increases in usage were on Thursdays during this time period, when UGA units frequently surpassed 1 million minutes of Zoom meetings hosted total.

Zoom is an online meeting tool that makes teaching, learning and working remotely easy, and is free to all UGA students, faculty and staff. You can use Zoom on desktops or mobile devices, and you do not need a Zoom account to join a meeting.

Learn more about Zoom by visiting zoom.uga.edu.
