In order to create an account with Zoom, you need to use a Google or Facebook account, or you can use an email and password. It is possible to link your account to a method which you did not initially choose if for some reason you desire to add another method of accessing your account.
Notes:
For users who have created their accounts through Google or Facebook, please use the same email address used to create the account as part of your Google or Facebook account.
The easiest way to link your account with your Google or Facebook account is to use the same email that you used when you created it.
