Web Interface

• Open Firefox or Chrome and navigate to https://uic.zoom.us
   
  
   
• Select Sign In
  
   
• Enter your UIC NetID credentials into the next window and select Login
   
• You are now in your UIC Zoom account where settings can be configured. You can join a meeting, or host a meeting as well.
   

Zoom Desktop Client:

• 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 log in 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 can select ‘Join a Meeting' or ‘Sign In.’
• Select Sign In.

• Zoom supports multiple methods of authentication. To use UIC authentication, select "SSO" (Single Sign-On) option.

• If this is the first time you have used the client, the ‘domain’ field will be blank. Type ‘uic’ into the field and select Continue.
   
  • 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.
    
    
     
• When the UIC log in window appears, please sign in with your UIC NetID and password. You will now be logged into the Zoom Desktop Application.
