Zoom Desktop Client:

  • Both the Zoom web interface (https://uic.zoom.us) and the desktop ‘Zoom Client for Meetings’ use UIC single-sign-on to provide secure authentication. However, the login steps for the Desktop Client are slightly different for the web interface. You are required to know either your email address or that we use the ‘uic’ domain.
  • After launching the desktop client, you have the option to ‘Join a Meeting' or ‘Sign In.’
  • Click Sign In.

  • NOTE: Clicking on the ‘I do not know the company domain’ link will bring you to the domain search pane. Type your FULL email address and click Continue. The interface will extract the domain (‘uic’) from your email address and you will see the window shown below.
