Differences between Licensed and Basic Zoom Accounts and Who Gets Basic (Affiliates) vs Licensed Zoom Accounts

In order for an affiliate to receive an upgraded licensed Zoom Account the department should contact Theresa O'Connell <Theresa.oconnell@stonybrook.edu> on the affiliate's behalf. 

The email must include:

• Name of affiliate(s)
• Explanation or justification as to why they require the license
• The department's state account number
• A statement of commitment and understanding that these licenses cannot be canceled until the end of the Zoom contract which is currently March 2025
