How to Join a Zoom Meeting with Your University Account

Joining a Zoom meeting is easy and can be done in just a few steps. If you have not previously joined a Zoom meeting, it's recommended that you use the web login option for your first login.

To join a Zoom meeting, click on 'Open Zoom Meetings' to open the Zoom application. You will then be prompted to log in with your UI credentials (the same credentials you use to log into MyUI or Canvas). If you have already logged into the browser, you may automatically skip this step.

Once you enter your full email address and follow the prompts to sign in and authenticate to Duo using your UI credentials, you will be directed to a login page. Select 'SSO' and click 'Sign In.' On this page, enter uidaho in the field and click Continue.

The Zoom application will then open your default browser to complete the login process. You will be prompted to enter a domain. Click 'Sign In' and you will be logged into your Zoom account.

If you need to meet longer than 40 minutes, you can fill out the UA system account request form. Limited to 40-minute meetings when three or more participants join.

After logging in, you can join a meeting by clicking on the 'JOIN A MEETING' link in the upper right and entering the Zoom meeting ID (the last 11-digit number on the meeting link). If you have a link for a meeting, simply click on it to join.

Note that if your provisioned pro account is approved, it will be returned to basic at the end of the academic year (July 31st). Students requesting a licensed pro account will need to provide contact information for their supervisor so that their reason can be confirmed.
