Using Zoom
Zoom makes it possible to have web conference meetings in your course using software supported by Information Services at the University of Regina. Zoom Video Management is also used to manage some of the video content in UR Courses and on other U of R sites.
Download Zoom
You will be prompted to download the Zoom app the first time you try to connect to a Zoom meeting. Zoom is supported on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices, and can be downloaded by visiting https://zoom.us/support/download.
Zoom account
Zoom accounts are automatically created when you start at the University of Regina. Sign in using your @uregina.ca username and password, the same credentials you use for UR Courses, and other university services.
Sign in to Zoom with SSO
University of Regina now requires the use of Single Sign On (SSO) for Zoom accounts.
On Zoom's Sign in screen click the SSO button.
If you are prompted for a domain name, enter uregina-ca* (the rest of the field will include .zoom.us) and click Continue.
* note that this is a hyphen, not the traditional dot.
You will be redirected to University of Regina's Central Authentication Service page. Enter the username and password that you use for all of your other U of R online services. If your account is enrolled in MFA, you may be asked to complete a DUO Push as well.
Using Zoom Meetings within your course
If your course includes Zoom meetings, the instructor may have sent you a meeting link via email, forum post, or by including a link to the zoom meeting elsewhere within the course. Clicking the link will open the Zoom client to join the meeting, or prompt you to download the Zoom client if it hasn't been installed previously.
If your course uses the Zoom integration with UR Courses, you can check the course calendar, upcoming events, or within the activities block (if they are available within the course).
If you are having difficulty joining a meeting, please contact your instructor and/or Service.Desk@uregina.ca.
