Frequently Asked Questions

Zoom is a web-based video meeting tool. It works through either a web browser, a local desktop client, or a mobile app. Users can choose to record sessions, collaborate on projects, and share or annotate one another's screens.

We have an enterprise agreement with Zoom, which means Zoom Licensed (Pro) accounts are now free for both University of Utah and University of Utah Health students, staff, and faculty.

Zoom Licensed (Pro) extends the duration of a meeting or session to 24 hours, rather than the basic license restriction of 40 minutes. Up to 300 participants may join a meeting or session.

Additional Zoom Add-On licensed products are available for purchase on the Software Catalog (authentication is required). All Add-On licenses are annual subscription licenses.

The only individual who needs a Zoom Licensed (Pro) account is the host of a Zoom meeting, i.e., the person setting up the meeting and hosting the session.

Regular participants do NOT require a Zoom Licensed (Pro) account in order to join and engage in a Zoom session.

Our enterprise license allows us to use the Zoom products for University of Utah and University of Utah Health work related purposes, both academic and administrative, including all academic teaching, learning, and research activities.

When logging in via single sign-on (SSO), campus users will be auto-provisioned a standard Zoom Licensed (Pro) account; hospital users will be auto-provisioned a HIPAA-compliant Zoom Licensed (Pro) account.

Campus users:

First time activation: follow the instructions here
Visit utah.zoom.us and select "Sign in" to sign in via Single Sign On.

Hospital users: visit utah-health.zoom.us and select "Sign in" to sign in via Single Sign On.

Users who previously had a Zoom account not registered through the university may find that Zoom automatically signs in to the old account. Simply log out of Zoom and revisit one of the websites above. Sign in with SSO to automatically be provisioned a new Zoom Licensed (Pro) account.

Canvas Users -Once you have your new lms-utah.zoom account set up, follow the steps in the link below to set up your Canvas Zoom integration.

Digital Learning Technologies has instructions on their web site, the topics are listed below in Additional Resources.

We have purchased room connectors with our enterprise license. The join information for H.323 & SIP is included on the meeting invitation you receive.

"Join by SIP" information can be used by IVC schedulers to connect pre-scheduled codec connections to the Zoom meeting.
"Join by H.323" information can be used to dial directly from the installed codec into the Zoom meeting.

For more information, please see "Getting Started with H.323/SIP Room Connectors" on the Zoom web site.

To get the latest features, you need to download the latest Zoom update for the Zoom desktop client and Zoom mobile app.
