Is there a getting started with Zoom guide?

Zoom is the web conferencing tool of choice.  Faculty, staff and students will be provisioned with a licensed version of Zoom once they activate their Zoom account by logging in at tcnj.zoom.us.  In addition to having Canvas integration, it can also be used outside of Canvas. To use Zoom as a host, you will need to first activate your Zoom account.
