Zoom Meetings
CS50 occasionally holds live lectures that anyone on the internet is welcome to attend or watch, whether taking any of CS50’s courses or not!
For any Zoom meeting you attend, please take care to
- participate from a quiet office or similar space (and not from a bed, car, hammock, plane, or train), and
- participate with your camera turned on, using horizontal (not vertical) video.
