How can I allow only authenticated users to join Zoom meetings?

Protect your meetings using "only authenticated users can join meetings" setting.
 

If you want to add another layer of protection to your meeting, authenticated users will allow you to restrict access in one of two different ways:

1. Users logged into Zoom.us
2. Restrict to zoom users who are logged in with specific email accounts (by domain)

Sign in to Zoom

This option allows anyone who has a Zoom account (whether at UIC or not) to access your meeting.

Enabling the authentication profile

1. Sign into uic.zoom.us and navigate to the settings tab
2. Enable Only authenticated users can join meetings.
3. You can edit this authentication profile's name by clicking the edit button to the right.
   You can also determine which profile is the default profile. Notice below that "Sign into Zoom.us" is the default authentication profile.
   

Scheduling a meeting with an Authentication profile:

1. Schedule the meeting as you normally would. Visit How do I start or schedule a Zoom Meeting? for more information.
2. Open the Advanced Options at the bottom of the meeting list
3. Select the correct authentication profile, you wish to use to restrict access to your meeting.  Here we will select Sign into Zoom.us
   

IMPORTANT: When users attempt to join your meeting and are not signed into Zoom.us they will receive this message:

Specific Domains (email addresses)

This option restricts access just to those who have s a Zoom account using an email address within the designated domains. For example, the "UofI Zoom Users" option allows only those who have created a Zoom account with the University of Illinois email address. IMPORTANT: Please note that assigning a 'Specific Domain' authentication profile is not possible when scheduling within Blackboard or when using the Outlook plug-in. Use the steps below to schedule your Zoom meeting with a Specific Domain limit.

Enabling the Setting

1. Sign into uic.zoom.us and navigate to the settings tab.
2. Enable Only authenticated users can join meetings.
3. Notice below that "UofI Zoom Users" is NOT the default authentication profile.
