Unfortunately, the University's Zoom video-conferencing platform contract does not allow for student accounts. 

However, because all students have access to the Microsoft 365 suite of applications, students can use Microsoft Teams to conduct and record video-conferencing sessions. Because your access to Microsoft 365 and Teams is a full-feature license, there is no restriction on the length of sessions or recordings.

To install Teams:

Go to Microsoft 365, a.k.a. Office.com and log in with your University username and password.

Look down the left-hand navigation column of the window and you'll see an icon for Teams.

Click the icon, and MS 365 will help you download the Teams client to your computer and install it. 

This link goes to a YouTube channel created by Microsoft to teach all about Teams, including managing video sessions and recording them.
