This update is all about a cleaner, faster workflow. The biggest changes include a simplified in-meeting toolbar that hides non-essential buttons, making it easier to focus; a consolidated settings panel that groups all your host and user controls (like audio, video, and security) into one convenient right-side location; and a redesigned main app that moves primary navigation to a clean left-hand sidebar, instantly organizing your chats, meetings, and contacts.

Bates College provides free or discounted software for faculty, staff, and students, including ArcGIS, ChemDraw, JMP, MATLAB, Microsoft Office 365, SensusAccess, Read & Write, Wolfram Alpha Pro, Zoom, and Zotero. Some software is available for personal devices, while others are restricted to Bates-owned machines. Most licenses expire around July 1 and renew automatically, though some may require assistance.
