Do I need a Zoom account?
You do not need to create a Zoom account to join most meetings. However, we strongly recommend you create a Zoom account to make use of all of its features. In addition, we recommend you create a specific Zoom account instead of using your Facebook or Google account for Zoom login to protect your privacy.

Is there anything else I should be aware of about Zoom?

Since Zoom uses Internet data, students should use an appropriate Internet connection to avoid unexpected charges and fees.
