MIT IS&T

To provide the core infrastructure needed to support collaboration through virtual and hybrid meeting experiences, IS&T offers two options for Zoom Rooms solutions to MIT departments, labs, and centers (DLCs):

  • Option one: DLC-funded with full support
  • Option two: License only, with limited support

New in 2022: MIT community members may now find and reserve a number of shared Zoom Rooms distributed across campus. Learn more about Zoom Rooms for Community Use and the Shared Meeting Spaces Pilot program.

Benefits and key features

Option one: DLC-funded with full support
If your DLC agrees to fund the entirety of the Zoom Rooms solution, provided by IS&T in partnership with Zoom's Professional Services Organization (PSO), IS&T will proceed working with you to design, price, and install your Zoom Rooms solution.

With this solution your room(s) will qualify for 24/7 dedicated Zoom Rooms support and hardware replacement within 2 business days. Phone support will come via a dedicated phone number for use only by MIT and staffed by Zoom Rooms experts.

Process:

  • Review: IS&T reviews the request to confirm eligibility.
  • Assess: IS&T schedules an on-site assessment to determine what infrastructure needs to be installed in the location.
    • Note: Requestor will be responsible for removing any existing audio/video conferencing equipment from the room. IS&T is available for consultation.
  • Design: IS&T works with Zoom to design a solution for the space.
  • Plan: IS&T confirms equipment design, hardware setup, cost estimate, and installation plan with requestor.
  • Install Infrastructure: IS&T schedules and installs required infrastructure to support new Zoom Rooms setup.
  • Install Equipment and Set Up: Zoom PSO schedules, installs, and configures Zoom Rooms hardware and software.
  • Train: Zoom PSO provides training for use of Zoom Rooms.

Option two: License only, with limited support
If you already have your own Zoom-compatible equipment and would like to request a Zoom Rooms license only so that you may use your system with Zoom, IS&T can provision one for your use. 
Note: A license provided for use with your own equipment will not qualify you for the extended Zoom support services describe above.

Requirements

  • MIT Kerberos account
  • Institute cost object
