District Faculty and Staff (Meeting Hosts)

Zoom is offering free accounts, and waiving the 40-minute limit on group meetings for education during the COVID-19 pandemic. Free Zoom meetings can have up to 100 participants. The district does have the free version, so all features available in the paid version will not be available to district staff. To create your account:

Click Sign up for Free (or login if you have previously signed up)
Toward the bottom of the page, click "Sign in with Google" (Single Sign On (SSO) which is your Brookfield Gmail account)

Choose your Brookfield Account when prompted. If this is the first time, click "accept" when Zoom requests to connect to your account.

Students, Families, any Meeting Participants

*NOTE* you do not need a Zoom account to join a meeting when invited.

You will receive an invitation by the meeting host. The invitation contains a unique meeting URL (Link) to join from your computer, Chromebook, tablet, or mobile phone (app required) and a telephone option should you choose to participate using audio only. When using the telephone option, the provided Meeting ID will be required.

First Time Device Setup (Hosts and Participants)

When scheduling/creating or joining a meeting from your computer for the first time, you need to install a safe and small application file. Your browser will prompt you to download the “zoom_launcher.exe” file. After download, open it to run a very quick install process. Upon completion, the meeting will attempt to launch.

For iOS (iPhone and iPad), search "Zoom" on Apple AppStore For Android, search "Zoom Meetings" on the Google Play Store

When prompted, type in the name you would like to appear in the participant list, all meeting attendees will see this name.
