Zoom and Microsoft 365 Teams are the University of Otago-supported desktop eConferencing options for staff and students.
How do I access the Zoom desktop app
To access the Zoom desktop app:
- Launch the Zoom app and click on Sign In.
- Click on the SSO option (not the Email or Password fields).
- In the Sign in with SSO page, type otago in the company domain field, and click Continue.
- This will open a new tab on your browser, and either automatically sign you in to your Microsoft account, or prompt you to log into your Microsoft account. Use your University email address (for staff: firstname.lastname@otago.ac.nz, for students: username@student.otago.ac.nz) and associated password to log in.
- If you are off-campus or signing into your account for the first time, you will be prompted to authenticate your Microsoft account, either by text message or via the Microsoft Authenticator app, depending on how you have set this up. See the related MFA article for more information.
- Once signed into your account you will see a Zoom page to launch the app. You can click on either the button on the page or in the pop-up and the Zoom app will launch with your University account logged in.
