  1. In the windows search bar type zoom and click the application to open it.
  2. Click SIGN IN and then click sign in with SSO. The company domain is “uga”. Press continue and then a web browser will popup for you to login through, login with you MyID and password.
  3. On the home screen you have a couple of options to start, you can create a new meeting, join an existing meeting, schedule a new meeting, or simply share your screen over zoom.
    • If you want to start a meeting you have already created you will need to access the meetings tab at the top. There you will see all of the meetings you have scheduled for the day, simply click on one and select start.
    • In order to share your screen simply click the green share screen button. This will bring up a menu, you can choose to share your entire screen or just a window of an application you have open.

Once the meeting is started it is a good idea to go through the microphone and speaker check. In the drop-down menus for the speaker and microphone it is best to select the defaults for the system or “same as system” however, it is possible the previous user has changed setting so this is why we recommend rebooting the entire computer and system before beginning use. If that does not work you can cycle through the input/output options in zoom testing as you go.

You will need to have connected your Bluetooth device to the computer prior to this step so that it shows up for you when you attempt to connect.
