Getting started

Zoom will download automatically when you start or join your first Zoom meeting on your web browser, and is also available for manual download at yale.zoom.us/download.

Users with a valid NetID can login at yale.zoom.us and an account will be set up automatically after logging in through CAS.

To invite others, click on the 'Invite' icon at the bottom of the Zoom window.
- Click 'Copy URL' for a link to the meeting,
- Click 'Copy invitation' for the full invitation text including a URL and teleconferencing number. The number can be used in case a participant does not have a computer or the Zoom app does not work.

Note the Meeting ID will expire after leaving the meeting. For recurring meetings, see 'Scheduling a meeting' below.
