Overview 

Purdue student Zoom accounts are being transitioned from the full Zoom Workplace Meetings license to the new Zoom Workplace for Education Standard Student license. This article summarizes the expected changes, the key differences students may notice, and how to request review for upgrade options when a valid academic, research, instructional, or business need exists. 

Summary 

Student Zoom accounts will continue to include core meeting and collaboration features, but the new student license removes several premium capabilities that were available with the full Zoom Workplace Meetings license. The most noticeable changes are the reduction in meeting duration to 40 minutes and the move from cloud recording storage to local-only recording. Core tools such as Team Chat, Notes, Tasks, Whiteboard, Clips, Canvas, and AI Companion 2.0 remain available.
