Getting Started With Zoom

Pro Zoom accounts (no meeting time limit, etc.) are available to all William James College faculty, staff, and students. 

To create your account, you just need to click on the Zoom "tile" in OneLogin. 

Zoom might send a confirmation message to your email that looks like this.

Jeff Choo is WJC’s IT Director, so his name appears on that email because he's the manager of all the Zoom accounts. There’s nothing you need to worry about with his name being there. All you need to do is click the blue “Switch to the new account” button, and your Zoom account should be fully set up and ready to go. 

We periodically check usage and pause Zoom accounts that have been inactive. If this happens, you can always request an account again when you need it - just email Support@williamjames.edu.

Zoom is accessed via OneLogin.
