Important

The webinar license is assigned to a single user. The user is the Passport York (PPY) account of an individual. Webinar licenses cannot be shared through a group of users. Therefore, in group-ownership settings, a delegate will need to be established as the webinar owner/coordinator.

If you would like to go forward with ordering a webinar license for you or your group, please contact us at askit@yorku.ca. To speed up processing time, please indicate the budget number that you want the billing to go to. Please expect your webinar request to take approximately four (4) business days to complete. The time accommodates for administrative work on both York University's, and Zoom's side.

Note that if you have a webinar plan, but you would like to either upgrade or downgrade it, you will have to add an extra one to two business days to process the request. Times fluctuate based on the availability of individuals needed in order to change the plan, etc. Also, please consider holidays in both Canada and the United States (USA) when booking or planning to purchase or change webinar licensing. Zoom representatives are based in the USA and could be on holiday at the time your purchase or change-request needs to be expedited.

More information on webinar pricing and features can be found at: https://zoom.us/pricing/webinar. Please note that York University's billing does not have a per-month option at this time.

Please reach out to us for any other information regarding Zoom webinars that you do not see here.
