ITS wants to make sure you feel confident about your options for hosting virtual meetings and classes. We have three fully supported tools available: Microsoft Teams Meetings, Google Meet, and Kaltura Rooms (in Canvas).
As we transition from Zoom to Kaltura Virtual Classroom for live class sessions, the overall experience will feel familiar. Most of the tools you rely on in Zoom are also available in Kaltura. The biggest shift is that everything now lives directly inside Canvas, making setup and access simpler for both you and your students.
Google Meet is Google’s web-based video conferencing platform that allows you to host and join virtual meetings from a browser or mobile device. It supports screen sharing, chat, live captions, and integration with Google Calendar.
The Kaltura Rooms in Canvas is a great way to have virtual meetings, allow remote students to stay engaged in the class. Becoming familiar with all the features will help users be able to use it to its full potential
Microsoft Teams Meetings allow faculty and staff to host virtual meetings, collaborate through chat, share screens, record sessions, and integrate with Microsoft 365 apps.
