– Zoom Prep Training – Mar 5, 2021 10:30 AM (Register today)
– Zoom Meetings Training – Mar 15, 2021 01:00 PM (Register today)
– Zoom Prep Training – Mar 25, 2021 01:00 PM (Register today) - 8,477 eligible @wisc.edu consumer Zoom accounts were notified to either move their personal account to the UW-Madison Zoom service or change their email address to a non @wisc.edu address (e.g., @gmail.com).
- Live transcription documentation is now available – https://kb.wisc.edu/zoom/108917. This document includes recommendations for individuals who require usability and accessibility accommodations.
Now – These are the activities and features we are working on now:
- Assisting individuals in migrating their @wisc.edu consumer accounts into UW-Madison Zoom now that the @wisc.edu domain is managed.
– 23,657 eligible consumer accounts with an @wisc.edu email address have migrated to UW-Madison Zoom
– 8,477 eligible @wisc.edu email accounts still exist in consumer Zoom and need to migrate into UW-Madison Zoom
– 7,343 personal accounts using ineligible @wisc.edu email accounts still exist in consumer Zoom.
- Technical implementation process for Zoom users who need to comply with HIPAA including the migration process and support for Secure Zoom.
- Working with UW Legal to finalize a newly offered BAA for the UW Zoom main account, which will improve the experiences for groups that require HIPAA compliant access.
- Documentation updates to support the DoIT Help Desk and to facilitate faster response times to customer requests.

Next – These are the activities and features we plan to work on next:

The retention policy for cloud recordings is set to 150 days, but individuals have the ability to turn off the auto-delete setting. This can become problematic should we approach our 33 TB quota.
- Develop a proposal to purchase Zoom Concurrent Meeting Plus licenses to enable individuals to host up to 20 concurrent meetings.

Zoom Advisory Group
August 27, 2020 Zoom Advisory Group meeting – Implement Zoom before the start of Fall semester – The Zoom Advisory Group supports moving forward with the Zoom implementation to provide the service to campus before the Fall semester, if possible. Service support, training, and additional enhancements can occur throughout the semester.
September 23, 2020 Zoom Advisory Group meeting – Ability to set personal pronouns and change display name – Zoom has experienced many Zoom-bombing incidents in which the attacker will rename themselves to include profanity or hate speech in the display name. In the interest of maintaining a safe Zoom environment for UW-Madison, the decision was made not to allow individuals to set personal pronouns or change display names. Preferred name is available to the UW Madison community to set a preferred name, which is then used by multiple services. DoIT is working toward an enterprise-wide, secure solution that will allow individuals to add preferred pronouns in multiple cloud-based tools, including Zoom.
