The University hosts two different Zoom accounts, Rochester NetID and URMC. Most settings are the same across the accounts; however there are some differences as shown in the chart below. (Note, the features are subject to change as updates are made to the service).

Note:

  • URMC Accounts MUST be used for HIPAA-related meetings.
  • Alternate Hosts can be assigned to users in either tenant (e.g., URMC meetings can have a Rochester NetID user as an alternate host, and vice-versa). Note, alternate hosts must have licensed accounts. Meetings that have PHI MUST be scheduled with a host in the URMC tenant, even if a Rochester NetID user is assigned as an alternate host.
  • Only Rochester NetID accounts can connect using the Blackboard Zoom Meeting Manager tool (Zoom meeting links from URMC accounts can be added as web links)
  • Switching between accounts (NetID to URMC and vice versa) is allowed, but not suggested. It is recommended that if you need to have a HIPAA account for patient or other medical services, you should use that account.
