Log in to Zoom

Open your web browser and navigate to UmU's landing site for Zoom.

Choose login to configure your Zoom Acc.

Once there, click Log in to configure your Zoom account. Logging in to Zoom via UmU's landing site uses the same username and password as you would use to log into Canvas or the UmU Student portal.

Follow the numbers to continue creating your own personal zoom-meeting.

When your login is completed, open the Profile (1) menu. Once there, find the Personal Link section and click Customize (2) to the right on your screen to open the following menu:

Type the name for your zoom meeting you would like to have.

Type your desired room name into the text box (1) and press Enter. We would recommend choosing your name or something else that's easy for you to remember. However, your room name must be unique, so if your name is already taken you must choose another. Once you've entered your room name, click Save Changes (2).

Copy the link.

Once validated you now have your very own personal meeting room - and it always stays the same as long as you don't change it. You can now copy this link and give to your meeting attendees.

Follow the steps 1 and 2.

In order to start your own meeting, go to https://umu.zoom.us/ and choose Log In. From there, go to your Meetings (1) menu, click Personal Meeting Room (2) followed by Start Meeting (3). Now you're ready to host a meeting in your room!

Important!
Remember: If Zoom is not installed on your current device you'll need to download and install it.

Ending a Zoom meeting

This image is showing whether the user should leave or end the meeting.

When closing the Zoom meeting you will get the above prompt. We recommend clicking End Meeting for All to close the meeting completely. If you click Leave Meeting the meeting will still be in progress and you won't be able to attend another meeting until your ongoing meeting is closed by another participant.
