Zoom Sign-On
As of Fall 2025, Rivier University has adopted Microsoft Teams as its preferred video conferencing platform. Current faculty, staff, and students are licensed for Microsoft Teams. Zoom licenses are no longer offered except in limited situations. Rivier-issued Zoom accounts offer Zoom Basic with host restrictions. Rivier faculty, staff, and students are still able to join Zoom meetings with no limitations.
All members of the Rivier University community are entitled to use Zoom. Faculty, staff, and students have access to Zoom Basic for videoconferencing and chat. Zoom Basic allows unlimited 1:1 meetings with video chat, sessions with up to 3 members, and a limit of 40 minutes per session. These restrictions do not apply if you are a participant and not the host of a meeting.
Please consider using Microsoft Teams, which is available to all Rivier University faculty, staff, and students and has no time or user limits per session.
