Zoom provides video conferencing, screen sharing and messaging across any device.

Getting Started

Zoom is free for anyone invited to attend a meeting. Zoom accounts are available by logging in via SSO (Single Sign On) to evergreen.zoom.us or via SSO in the Zoom desktop app with your My Evergreen login and password.

Signing in with SSO

About Zoom Accounts

Zoom Basic accounts are available for Evergreen members and allow meetings up to 40 min. with up to 100 attendees. One-on-one meetings are not limited to 40 minutes.
Zoom Pro accounts allow for meetings longer than 40 minutes and can host up to 300 participants.
- All faculty are automatically assigned a Pro account.
- Staff or students needing a pro account can request one at help.evergreen.edu.
- Please only request a Pro account if you need to host a multi-participant Zoom conference longer than 40 minutes.

Microsoft Team Meetings is a great alternative if you need to host multi-participant meetings longer than 40 minutes. All community members have a Teams license available by logging in at 365.cloud.microsoft.

Students

Zoom accounts are available for all students by logging in to evergreen.zoom.us with your My Evergreen login and password. For more about using Zoom in the classroom see: Zoom for Students.

Zoom Security - Best Practices for Scheduling Meetings
Zoom guide: Enabling Language Interpretation
- This feature first needs to be turned via your general Evergreen Zoom account at https://evergreen.zoom.us
- Language Interpretation is not available for use with Personal Meeting IDs/sessions - you need to create/schedule a new/unique session

Pre-Assigning Participants to Breakout Rooms

Zoom guide: Pre-assigning participants to breakout rooms
- Go to/sign in at https://evergreen.zoom.us

- At the Settings page, under the “Meeting” heading, click “In Meeting (Advanced)”
- At the “Breakout room” setting, check the box to “Allow host to assign participants to breakout rooms when scheduling” -- that action should just auto-save.
