NAU to retire Zoom as a university collaboration platform
Beginning in June, NAU will no longer support Zoom as a collaboration platform for university use.
Beginning on June 30, 2026, NAU will be retiring Zoom for university use. This change will remove the NAU Single-Sign On tenant from Zoom logins, and NAU accounts will no longer be able to access Zoom. Additionally, Zoom will no longer be integrated into Canvas for academic use and will be replaced with Microsoft Teams.
Why NAU is making this change
This change is in support of financial sustainability initiatives that better utilize university funds and cut down on platforms or tools that provide similar or identical functions in our portfolio.
With NAU currently leveraging Microsoft 365 as the university’s platform for productivity and collaboration tools, Microsoft Teams will be the university’s primary tool for video and chat collaboration, replacing Zoom.
Resources and getting started with Microsoft 365
