Zoom Migrations

As part of our ongoing efforts to optimize resources and ensure sustainable technology solutions across our campus, TWU IT has made the decision to transition to Microsoft Teams and discontinue enterprise licensing for Zoom, effective July 30, 2025, as our primary platform for virtual meetings and collaboration. Microsoft Teams offers a comprehensive suite of features, including video conferencing, file sharing, chat, and integration with other Microsoft applications, which are already widely used across our institution.

To find out more about what this means for faculty, staff, and students, please see our Zoom to Teams Transition page on SharePoint.
