Video Tutorials

It is strongly recommended that all faculty connect with students using the approved synchronous tool, Microsoft Teams. Microsoft Teams is secure, easy to deploy, and supported for both faculty and students through the Service Desk and OTL. View our quick tutorials below to get started. Further support on using this tool to connect with students can be found by contacting our office.

UVU does not have official technology support or data sharing agreements for FERPA protections with any third-party conferencing software (such as Zoom, Hangouts, etc.). As well, there are major concerns that Canvas Conferences (Big Blue Button) will not scale properly and we do not recommend that you use it as a synchronous meeting tool with your students.
