GitLab Communication — Zoom
Zoom-specific communication guides
GitLab uses Zoom as the primary video collaboration platform for internal and external communications. Some of our customers and partners have different preferred tools and to facilitate the communication with those parties, GitLab provides licenses for WebEx and MS Teams. This service is only provided to team members that have a business need to host meetings and where Zoom is not accepted. It is not efficient for GitLab to use multiple video conferencing tools, however we encourage the use of the most popular ones among our customers and partners when needed. E.g.; Zoom, WebEx, MS Teams, Skype, etc.
To request access to those tools, create an access request and provide a justification for access.
Usage guidelines
Please visit the Tools and Tips handbook for Zoom usage guidelines.
Using Zoom for personal connection
COVID-19 is impacting how team members connect and communicate with family.
Due to school closures, parents are tasked with being responsible for their children while at home. Family and friends first, work second is an important Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging operating principle. To that end, we are encouraging GitLab team members to allow their children to connect with other children around the world.
During this time of physical distancing, GitLab team members are welcome to use Zoom to connect with family if other options like FaceTime, etc. are not an option. Please ensure that attendees who are not GitLab team members have their own Zoom account. To ensure GitLab does not incur toll charges, please use Internet-based voice when possible.
