ZOOM is a webcam communication system that every VCCS student has available to them. Accounts for students are already set-up through VCCS. Students are required to have a working webcam and audio device. Many modern laptops are already equipped with a webcam.
Students may use either the same device as they are taking their exam on or a different device.
If using a phone as a secondary device, the zoom application can be found for different devices below or by searching for “Zoom” on your phone’s application store.

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=us.zoom.videomeetings&hl=en_US
If using the same device or a secondary device such as a tablet, ZOOM can be accessed by following the instructions given below. You can use the browser for the meeting or you can download the application to your desktop.
How to access ZOOM through your VCCS account:
