• Click on the ‘Zoom Application’ from your computer’s applications folder or start menu.

• Once the Zoom application opens, click the ‘Sign In’ button from the options below.

Important: Do not click ‘Join a meeting’ or ‘Sign up’ as you’ll need to sign in to access your UVic-linked account.

• From the Zoom sign-in page, select ‘SSO’ as your sign-in method.

Important: The UVic ‘Company Domain’ is uvic.zoom.us. This tells Zoom to redirect your login through UVic’s secure SSO system.

• Enter ‘uvic’ as the company domain, then click continue. You will be prompted to sign in using your UVic NetLink ID and password.

• You will see a pop-up message asking, “Do you want to allow this website to open ‘zoom.us’?” Click ‘allow’ to continue.

Note: By clicking ‘allow’ you are giving your browser permission to open the Zoom application.

• Once your Zoom dashboard opens, you can join a meeting by:
  • Clicking ‘Join’ and entering the Meeting ID, or
  • Opening a ‘Zoom link’ shared via email, calendar invite, course syllabus, etc.
