It is also possible for faculty to adopt other free video conference services. We do not recommend these services, as they are not supported by NYU IT, require every user to sign up for a new account, and offer no particular advantages over NYU Zoom or NYU Meet. However, they are available, and the principal candidates are:
- Microsoft Teams, which includes video conferencing;
- Skype, which also has free video conferencing;
- BlueJeans, which uses the same underlying technology as Zoom (called WebRTC.)
