Joining a Zoom Meeting as a Student

Now We Are Zooming...

As a student, you may be asked to join your instructor and/or your classmates in a real-time online meeting using Zoom or Microsoft Teams. Both of these tools allow real-time access to your instructor online.

Zoom

• You do not need a Zoom account to participate in a meeting. Simply follow the link that your instructor sends you to join, or use the Zoom option within the course menu. When the link opens, it will download a small executable file that should go into your downloads folder. Click that file to launch the program and join the meeting.
  • Make sure you have the ability to download on the computer you are using
• Once in Zoom, you may be asked to wait until the organizer joins or is prompted for a passcode. If the passcode is required, check the original email invitation; it should be listed there.

Microsoft Teams

If your instructor is using Teams in Canvas, there will be a link in the left course menu. Follow your instructor's instructions to join. Pay attention to the directions. It may include an access code.
