CU Boulder Adjusts Zoom Licensing to Optimize Usage and Ensure Sustainability

CU Boulder Adjusts Zoom Licensing to Optimize Usage and Ensure Sustainability

The University of Colorado Boulder's Office of Information Technology (OIT) is implementing changes to its Zoom licensing practices, effective January 2027. These adjustments are a response to modifications in Zoom's higher education licensing model and aim to align paid services with actual usage data while ensuring long-term sustainability. Under the new policy, student licenses will default to 'Student Standard,' though a 'Pro' license will be available upon request for academic or university work. Additionally, centrally funded temporary Zoom Webinar and Large Meeting licenses will no longer be provided; departments will need to purchase these add-on licenses directly.

OIT is also conducting a broader assessment of CU Boulder's long-term video and web conferencing needs, comparing Zoom and Microsoft Teams functio...
