Install Zoom, and sign in

IMPORTANT SECURITY MESSAGE: Log on to Zoom with your UiO user name and password

All students and staff at UiO are licensed to use the full version of Zoom, where privacy and security are better than the free version of Zoom, and UiO has made key settings to further enhance security. It is important that everyone at UiO installs Zoom and logs in with UiO username and password as we describe here. If you have installed Zoom and are unsure if you are using the full version and are logged in as a UiO user, you can check it.

• Here's how to check if you're signed in with your UiO user.

Installing Zoom 

Do not use the free version of Zoom. For security reasons, UiO users should install Zoom and log in with UiO username and password.

You will need to install Zoom on your computer regardless of whether you will only participate in meetings or need to set up and host meetings yourself. 

For best results, always use the installed Zoom application for your operating system or device, instead of the online version. If possible, use the Zoom application on a local workstation or laptop, and not through Windows Remote Desktop or similar.
