Join an existing account

It is likely that you will receive an invitation email (no-reply@zoom.us) if you are being invited to an existing account. In order to accept the invitation, please click the Accept link.

Once accepted, your profile details (such as your name, profile picture, time zone, etc.) will be transferred to the other account, along with your meetings, webinars, cloud recordings, IM history, contacts, and settings. Reports will be excluded from this export, however. The invitation to attend should only be accepted after you have accessed any reports that you may need and had downloaded them. The invitation to attend should only be accepted within 30 days of being sent.

Create your own account

Please use the Zoom sign up page to create your own free account. Here you will also be asked to enter your email address. Using Zoom’s no-reply email address (no-reply@zoom.us), you will receive a reply email. To activate your Zoom account, click the activation link.

You can log in to your Zoom account on the web by following these steps

The Zoom web sign-in page is available anytime, anywhere, and you can sign up for an account by clicking zoom.us/sign-in. You can navigate the Zoom web portal by using the panel on the left hand side when you are logged in. You can update your profile, schedule a meeting, edit your settings, and more.
