			'''As of 4/16/2026 We are planning on discounting our Zoom License in 2027'''


			==FAQ: Transition from Zoom to Microsoft Teams==

			===General Questions===

			'''Why is the University discontinuing Zoom?'''

			The University is discontinuing its Zoom license as part of an effort to streamline digital tools and reduce redundant services. Microsoft Teams provides comparable functionality and is already included in the University’s Microsoft 365 campus license at no additional cost. Transitioning to Teams allows the University to maintain strong collaboration tools while exercising fiscal responsibility.

			'''When will Zoom access end?'''

			The University’s Zoom license will expire in early 2027. After that time, University email addresses will no longer be eligible for Zoom licensing through William Paterson University.


			'''Will Zoom stop working immediately?'''

			No. Zoom will remain available until the license expires in April 2027. Users are encouraged to begin transitioning to Microsoft Teams well in advance to ensure a smooth change.


			'''Who is affected by this change?'''

			All William Paterson University faculty, staff, and students who currently use Zoom under the University’s license will be affected.


			'''What platform will replace Zoom?'''

			Microsoft Teams will serve as the University’s primary platform for online meetings, collaboration, and virtual instruction.


			'''Do I already have access to Microsoft Teams?'''

			Yes. All WP faculty, staff, and students have access to Microsoft Teams through the University’s Microsoft 365 license: www.wpunj.edu/365


			'''What can Microsoft Teams be used for?'''

			Microsoft Teams supports:

			*Online classes and lectures
			*Advisement meetings
			*Committee and departmental meetings
			*Collaboration and file sharing
			*Large meetings, webinars, and town halls


			===Teaching and Blackboard===

			'''Is Microsoft Teams integrated with Blackboard?'''

			Yes. Information Technology has integrated Microsoft Teams into Blackboard, allowing instructors to schedule and join Teams meetings directly from within Blackboard.


			'''Do I need to update my course meeting links?'''

			Yes. As you prepare courses for the Fall semester and beyond, any existing Zoom meeting links should be replaced with Microsoft Teams links.


			'''Where can instructors get help using Teams in Blackboard?'''

			The Center for Teaching with Technology (CTT) provides guidance, training, and resources. For assistance:

			*Submit a Help Desk ticket
			*Select the '''Blackboard''' ticket type


			===Zoom Cloud Recordings===



			'''What happens to my Zoom cloud recordings?'''

			Once the Zoom license expires, cloud recordings stored in Zoom will no longer be accessible.



			'''What should I do with important Zoom recordings?'''

			If you have recordings you need to retain, you should:

			Download them locally, '''or'''
			Migrate them to '''Yuja''', the University’s official video platform
			https://itwiki.wpunj.edu/index.php/YuJa#Transferring_Zoom_Recordings_to_YuJa

			'''This should be done before the Zoom license expires.'''



			'''Can IT help with migrating recordings?'''

			Yes. Information Technology staff are available to assist with downloading or transferring Zoom recordings to Yuja. Submit a Help Desk ticket and select the Yuja ticket type.

			Shape

			===Webinars and Large Events===



			'''Does Microsoft Teams support webinars and large events?'''

			Yes. Microsoft Teams includes Webinar and Town Hall features designed for large meetings and events.



			'''Will Teams meet the needs of large campus events?'''

			Information Technology has been reviewing Teams’ webinar and town hall capabilities and will ensure that an appropriate solution is in place to support University needs.

			===Support and Training===



			'''Will training be available for Microsoft Teams?'''

			Yes. Information Technology will continue to offer guidance, documentation, and support to help faculty and staff effectively use Teams for teaching and collaboration.



			'''Who should I contact if I need help?'''

			IT Help Desk: <br>
			www.wpunj.edu/helpdesk <br>
			(973) 720-4357 <br>
			Center for Teaching with Technology (CTT) <br>

			===Planning Ahead===


			'''What should I do now?'''

			*Begin familiarizing yourself with Microsoft Teams
			*Transition any recurring or future Zoom meetings to Teams
			*Identify and download or migrate important Zoom recordings
			*Attend available training sessions or request assistance as needed
