Overview

You may need to join a Zoom meeting or many meetings throughout the quarter.  Most links will be shared with you in your Canvas course, but you may also receive links through email or links posted to websites.

You do not need the Zoom Desktop App to join meetings.  The app does provide more features and controls during the meeting, but it is not a requirement.  The steps below will walk you through joining a Zoom meeting from a Web Browser. If you'd like to Download the Zoom Desktop app you can do so at zoom.us/download. 

If you'd like to join Zoom meetings from phone, you must go to the app store and download the Zoom Cloud Meetings application first.
