Learning Objectives: This page will cover how to signup for a UT Zoom account, install Zoom, and how to integrate your UT Zoom account with Canvas.  If needed, it also explains how to delete your public (Non-UT) Zoom account and how to utilize SSO (Single Sign-on).

How to signup for UT Zoom Account

How to install Zoom on your computer

  1. You can access the installer at the bottom of https://utexas.zoom.us/ or go directly to https://utexas.zoom.us/download


  2. Select the Zoom Client for Meetings option to download the Zoom Installer.  Open downloaded file to progress through the install process.


How to sign into Zoom

There are two recommended options

NOTE: If you have an existing public Zoom account that you don't need, please delete it using these instructions to avoid mixing up your two accounts which could lead to a loss of functionality in a meeting. 

NOTE: if you find yourself with a different login screen that offers an option on the right for "Sign in with SSO", please use the instructions posted here on the Troubleshooting page.


How to connect UT Zoom account to Canvas

This is done for you automatically when you click the Zoom link in the bottom left menu bar in your Canvas course.

  1. Navigate to your Canvas course
  2. Scroll down to the bottom of the left menu bar.
  3. Click Zoom link
  4. You'll be prompted to "Authorize" zoom in Canvas.  Agree to that and your UTEID will be tied to your UT Zoom account.
  5. NOTE: If by some chance you skipped the signup process first, your account will be created when you Authorize Zoom in Canvas.

If you have completed all the above setup steps, please move on to Step 2
