The contract for Collaborate expired in 2021. Collaborate Ultra had been more popular in teaching contexts, although Teams has also grown in use in teaching and event contexts. Although interchangeable in core functionality, MS Teams has had more of a focus on administrative and integrated collaboration needs. Over the past few years, U of T has had two video-conferencing solutions to provide some choice and flexibility for the community: Microsoft (MS) Teams and Collaborate Ultra. For advice on which system to use, please consult with your divisional Ed Tech group first. Members of the community can then choose to use Microsoft Teams Video or Zoom for classes, events and meetings as appropriate. U of T staff, faculty and students are welcome to set up an official Zoom account.

However, starting in 2022, the University has entered a new partnership with Zoom to enhance the experience for members of the U of T community - something we are calling t he new U of T Zoom experience. Many people at the University of Toronto (U of T) have been using the Zoom video-conferencing solution for several years. If you have any questions, please contact. To ensure there is always space available for day-to-day teaching and administrative needs, U of T is implementing a 365-day retention update.įor more information on how to download your content from Zoom, visit.
