We recommend that you include instructions about university Zoom meeting and webinar requirements in your event information to outside participants and provide directions suggesting that they sign up for a free Zoom account before the event. They can then install it or choose “cancel” and they can join the meeting with a web browser. If a non-University of Illinois participant clicks on a Zoom meeting link without the client installed, the participant will be prompted to install the Zoom client. Members of the general public can sign up for an account at. Non-University of Illinois users, including invited speakers and members of the general public, will need to sign in to Zoom using their free Zoom account.

How can speakers and guests from outside of the university join an Illinois Zoom event? Specific details about how to sign in to Zoom are included in the original message to the campus community and you can find step-by-step instructions on the page Zoom, Logging In. Anyone with a Zoom account (either a free account or an account through another university) will be permitted to connect after they sign in to Zoom. The setting will not limit attendees to Illinois users. Turning this setting on will ONLY prevent anonymous access to meetings.

To reduce the possibility of Zoombombings the Only Authenticated Users Can Join function in Zoom will be turned on by default for all meetings and webinars created after 7 am on Tuesday, January 19. All non-University of Illinois users will need to be signed into Zoom through a free Zoom account to access a University of Illinois Zoom event. As of Tuesday, Janu, all University of Illinois users should log in to their University of Illinois Zoom account using your university NetID and password through Single Sign-On (SSO) to access University of Illinois Zoom meetings and event. Last week you received a message about changes to the Zoom login process for Spring 2021.
