Getting Started with Zoom
Beginning in 2024, Georgia Highlands College will be phasing out the use of Zoom and switching over to Microsoft Teams exclusively.
All virtual meetings and courses that utilize Zoom at this time should begin to migrate to using Microsoft Teams entirely.
Each area should be prepared to no longer use or have access to Zoom before the 2024 Summer Semester. Please note this means any recordings or data being stored on Zoom through your account should be downloaded and stored in a different place since those recordings and data will no longer be accessible starting Summer 2024.
System Requirements
The system requirements for the latest version of Zoom software are stated on the Zoom Website. If you have questions about whether your system is zoom compatible, please check your system requirements.
