Difference between Zoom and Teams meetings

Difference between Zoom and Teams meetings

The choice of platform depends on your familiarity with the platform and teaching needs.

Zoom is a web conferencing tool which is easy to set up; Teams has other features integrated with Office 365 that facilitate collaboration throughout the semester, but there is a learning curve.
