Dear @Guest, Please submit a request to telecom-zoom@berkeley.edu for us to authorize your account. We do not have a campuswide agreement with Otter.ai, but you may request for us to authorize your individual account to use this app: https://marketplace.zoom.us/apps/MmQJIMXUTYiCdPX5anvKVw Thanks!

Seconding this!

Could you please authorize the Otter.AI app for transcribing or add some sort of function to allow closed captioning or live transcripts? This is something we need for accessibility, and other universities like UC Irvine have it already. Thanks!

Dear Jennifer I have a BerkeleyZoom account. That was what I was trying to update!! Hence my question. I now know that Berkeley will notify us when our accounts need to be updated and provide a link at the time that makes this happen. It would be nice if you would say this on the home page of Berkeley Zoom. This was not the case few weeks ago when I was trying to figure out if my account needed updating. I hope it is now. Many non-Berkeley zoom meeting coveners warn people to update their accounts to avoid difficulties entering their meetings. Chris On Thu, Sep 24, 2020 at 9:01 AM Jennifer Bellenger wrote:

Thanks, Chris. Hope your semester is going well!

If you are eligible for a UC Berkeley Licensed Zoom account (formerly known as Pro account), all you need to do is sign in from https://berkeley.zoom.us. It will automatically create an account for you. If your campus affiliation is not eligible for a Licensed account you will not be able to upgrade to one. To see terms of eligibility, please review our Zoom Service Level Agreement (SLA) here: https://berkeley.service-now.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0013714 If you require IT support, please contact the following: Students: sts-help@berkeley.edu Faculty: zoom-help@berkeley.edu Staff: telecom-zoom@berkeley.edu Thank you.

Dear Guest, Not accessible info - at least not on the Berkeley zoom site, back when I wrote that email out of extreme frustration. However, the Haas and CSS IT folks have informed me that as long as I have a Berkeley zoomPro account, the Berkeley system will automatically update my zoom account when needed. So it's become a non-issue for me. Hopefully this is indeed the case! Chris Rosen

Hi @Aidan Smith. Thanks for letting us know the link was broken! I have replaced with the active article.

By any chance could you update the link titled "eligible for a UC Berkeley-provided Zoom account"? It doesn't lead to an active page. Thank you!
