There are four ways to access Zoom at the University of Arizona. Those are:
- University Zoom Web Portal
- Brightspace Zoom LTI
- Zoom Client (App)

Access University Zoom Web Portal
The University Zoom web portal is your central hub to all things related to your university Zoom account. The web portal is where you will access information on your profile, meetings/webinars, phone, recordings, and account settings.
Follow the instructions below to sign in to the web portal with your university Zoom account.
Step 1
In a web browser, go to the University Zoom Web Portal (opens in new tab).
Step 2
Select the Sign In button.
Step 3
Enter your university NetID and password in the provided fields. Select the Login button.
Step 4
You will be signed in to the University Zoom web portal. If it is your first time signing in it will take you directly to your profile page.
Access Zoom via Brightspace
Accessing Zoom via Brightspace will allow you to create Zoom meetings that are strictly related to your Brightspace course and available only to those enrolled in your classlist. The meetings are created within the Brightspace course but will also be accessible from your University Zoom web portal.
Step 1
Make sure you first have a university Zoom account established. Follow the steps in the Access University Zoom Web Portal section above to establish your university Zoom account.
Step 2
In a web browser, navigate to Brightspace (opens in new tab).
Step 3
Select the UA NetID Login button.
Step 4
Enter your university NetID and password in the provided fields. Select the Login button.
Step 5
Select your Brightspace course in the list of My Courses.
Step 6
In the course navbar select the UA Tools menu link and select Zoom.
Step 7
If it is the first time you have accessed a Brightspace course after establishing your university Zoom account it will ask if you would like for the Zoom Calendar app to operate using your account.
Select the Accept button.
Note
This message only appears once when you first access Zoom through a Brightspace course. If you happen to select the Cancel button on this message, it will mean that your Zoom meetings that you schedule within your course will not get auto-populated to the course calendar. The course calendar is where the majority of students will find and access your course meeting links. This choice cannot be undone so be sure you select the Accept button.
Step 8
You will be signed in and taken to the Zoom Brightspace integration home screen where you can see upcoming meetings, previous meetings, personal meeting room, cloud recordings, and a button to schedule your new meetings.
Access Zoom Client (App)
The Zoom Client is the application that you can download on your desktop or mobile device. It gives you access to chat, phone, meeting scheduling, and file sharing, all in one place. It is also the application that will launch anytime you join or start a meeting.
