The associated domains allow you to add or create users whose email addresses match your organization’s domain (such as @zoom.us) in the same way that you would add or create users otherwise. Once the domain associated with your Zoom account has been verified, you can enable an option to ensure that all new or existing users with that domain will be prompted to join your account whenever they sign in to Zoom. In addition to the ability to insist on single sign-on login methods, adding an associated domain will also allow you to force one.

Following the approval of your associated domain, you will be able to learn more about advanced Associated Domain configurations and their effect on users.

Prerequisites for associated domains

How to manage associated domains and accounts

In the event that you add and verify your domain, you will be presented with the option to manage accounts for the same domain, and you can choose to allow users with the same domain to consolidate into your account.

You can manage your associated accounts and domains using the following steps:

1. The Zoom web portal can be accessed by logging in.
2. Once you have logged in, you can access the Account Management page followed by the Account Profile page.
3. To access the Account Profile page, click the Account Profile tab.
4. The associated domains section allows you to view the domain names associated with your account and select the options you would like to enable.
   • It is possible to make use of multiple domains when creating a Zoom account: If a user attempts to create a Zoom account using an email address at a particular domain, they will be instructed to choose a different email address to use. You will be required to change the email address of customers with this domain who do not have an account with your business.
   • Adding the option to allow users from the same domain to bring their accounts together into one: Existing users will be prompted to transfer their accounts to the managing account or change their login information to use a different e-mail account. Before they are forced to choose between the two options, they will be able to sign into their account for a maximum of three times.
   • Signing up for Zoom using an email address associated with users’ domains should be allowed. Users will be able to get a Zoom account if they use an email address that corresponds with their domain. In the example above, users may sign up with their name@mydomain.com if the domain associated with the account is mydomain.com. In this case, a confirmation email will be sent to the signup users. It will be asked of them if they would like to consolidate into the managing account or if they would like to change their email address after signing in. In order to enable this setting, it must be enabled initially through the Manage users with the same domain option, a setting that is disabled by default.
     It should be noted that to allow users within the same domain to consolidate into this account, the Allow users within the same domain to consolidate into this account setting must be enabled. If users are forced to use SSO in order to sign in, this setting can’t be enabled.
5. Press Save.
   Users will be able to see their summary when configured.
6. Click View User Summary (optional) to notify existing Zoom users of the domain change. If any existing Zoom users exist with this domain, click Send an Email to notify them.

Please refer to the article on advanced Associated Domains configuration for details on how these configurations affect users and how they are notified.
