Zoom & Teams: Meeting Online

Members of the Conestoga community have access to video conferencing tools for meeting together and collaborating online. With these tools, you can schedule meetings, or start them on the fly; share your screen, chat and poll participants; and record your meeting to share with others later.

Students must follow guidelines to ensure a safe and respectful online learning and working environment for everyone. To view the full guidelines, see Student Expectations for Online Engagement (pdf).
