How to Sign in to Student Google Accounts

If you sign in to a Student's Google account before clicking to join a Zoom session, you will be recognized as an authenticated user.

Troubleshooting Tips:

If you are not allowed into a Zoom session, it may be because you have not identified yourself with your school Google username and password. Sign out of all other Google accounts in the browser and sign back in with your school Google account.


Students should NOT enter a Zoom meeting by first going to the Zoom app, web client, or web page. START by clicking on a Zoom link provided by a teacher.


Zoom updates its software regularly and we should be checking for Zoom updates every week or so (unless you are using a Chromebook which updates automatically). If you are using a PC or mac, open the zoom app on your computer (not the website), click on zoom.us and select “Check for Updates”. On an iPad, go to the App Store and update the Zoom app.
