Install Zoom Software

You will need to install the Zoom software before you can attend (participate in) a Zoom meeting or webinar.

This article applies to: Zoom

Zoom client software is available for Windows and Macintosh desktop computers, Apple iOS devices, and Android devices.

After you’ve installed Zoom, you can access Zoom either through this URL (link opens Cornell Zoom website) or using the client application on your computer or device.

We strongly recommend that users contact their local technical support providers before installing Zoom. Local TSPs are best positioned to know how Zoom should be installed and configured in your environment. Additionally, users in a managed environment will need to obtain Zoom updates through that software management system, rather than via in-application updates.

Windows and Mac Desktop Computers

After activating your Zoom account and logging in for the first time, click Host a Meeting in Zoom. The software will download automatically.

When signing in to the Zoom desktop client, use the SSO sign-in option, and type Cornell when asked for the domain.
