Quick set-up

Prior to setting up Zoom on your computer, please make sure to check the technical requirements.

Step 1: Install Desktop Application 

Step 2: Activate your IE Zoom license

Step 1: Install Desktop Application

To install the desktop application, go to the website zoom.us, select "Resources" -> "Download Zoom Client".

You will be directed to the website where you can download "Zoom Client for Meetings".

Download the application and install it on your computer.

To sign in, follow the steps below.

Step 2: Activate your IE Zoom license 

With your first sign in, you will automatically activate your IE Zoom license. This is a prerequisite so that links for your classes can be created. Please make sure to have your Zoom account activated as soon as you know you will be teaching. You only have to activate your account once.

2. Select "Sign in with SSO" to choose the single sign on option.

3. You will be asked to fill in the domain name "ieuniversity".

4. This takes you to the Single Sign On (SSO) page of IE.

Make sure to sign in with your IE FACULTY CREDENTIALS (xxx@faculty.ie.edu and password).

The application might pull this information directly from your cookies and sign you in automatically. This might create confusion if you have more than one IE account (e.g. faculty and staff).

Step 3: Sign in to the web portal & edit your profile

We recommend you also familiarize yourself with the Zoom web portal http://ieuniversity.zoom.us form where you can easily manage your account settings and meeting configurations. 

Click SIGN IN which will bring you to the Single Sign On page of IE (same as above). Make sure to sign in with your IE FACULTY CREDENTIALS (xxx@faculty.ie.edu and password).

In the menu bar on the left you have the option to manage your profile. 

Please upload a profile picture, so that you have your picture displayed in case you have to switch your camera off.

Step 4: How to schedule a meeting (e.g. office hours) 

As of Dec 16, 2020, the links for your classes will be created automatically and will be displayed in the agenda on IE Online Campus. This is a new system integration to facilitate this process. Prerequisite - you must have your IE Zoom account activated for the process to work seamlessly!

In addition, you can schedule other meetings, for example office hours or to connect with a group of students to review their work. You have two ways to schedule meetings, through (1) the web portal or (2) the desktop application.

Please bear in mind that for security reasons your account is restricted to meet with IE University Users only. In case you have a guest speaker joining you for an activity or you need to connect with someone external, please make sure to request a guest access through program management.
