How to sign in to join a Zoom meeting
Why sign into Zoom?
Sometimes, Zoom meetings are restricted to a subset of users that have a UIW account. Signing in before you join helps the meeting host track who has attended the meeting and provides them with the proper identification (Email and name) to assign credit and ensure proper follow-ups to sessions. Requiring a login to join the meeting also minimizes any security risks involved with hosting professional development from a known and well-respected institution.
Signing in after opening a Zoom meeting link
Step 1
To launch a Zoom meeting, find and open the meeting link. Zoom meeting links are generally found in the 'location' area of a calendar invite or attached within the body of email communications about the meeting. To learn how to join a Zoom meeting, refer to the official guide.
Please note, your meeting information will differ from the example pictured above.
Step 2
You'll be shown some prompts. Select either the 'Open' or the 'Launch Meeting' prompt, as they will both initiate joining the meeting...
If you are taken to the a window asking you to wai (Or instantly join the meeting), you are already signed in with an account and can await admission by the meeting host or participate. You can close this guide...
However, if you receive a pop-up with the message 'Unable to join this meeting' or 'Sign in to Join this meeting', NOTHING IS BROKEN. The meeting simply requires you to sign in with a Zoom account to join. Click the 'Sign in to Join' button and continue to Step 3.
Step 3
Once you click the 'Sign in to Join' button in the prior step, the Zoom app will open and prompt you to login. UIW members will click the 'SSO' option in the bottom of the login page.
Step 4
For UIW users, enter "uiw" (Without the quotation marks) in the box that asks for the company domain. Then, click 'Continue'.
Step 5
A web-browser will open and you might be asked to login. Use the same email and password you use to login to Cardinal Apps and click the 'Launch Zoom' button when you're finished.
If you're already logged into Cardinal Apps within your web-browser, you won't see the login prompt and will simply be asked to 'Launch Zoom', that's OK.
Step 6
Congratulations, you are now signed into Zoom with your UIW email and can join meetings that require a login (Meetings from the CTL, for example). You shouldn't have to repeat this process
