CU Zoom is now up and running and accounts have been migrated!
​

Note that as of May 22, 2023, users have been migrated to the new Commonwealth University Zoom site:

https://commonwealthu-edu.zoom.us



Please see directions on how to access the new Zoom at Signing into the New CU Zoom



Below are the previous directions for the separate Zoom sites.


The directions below are NOT for the new CU Zoom site.


Between Spring 2023 and the cutover to the new Zoom site in May, Commonwealth University users are still using multiple Zoom sites to conduct business.


Due to differing security settings, we recommend users sign into Zoom via SSO before accessing meetings.


Here is important information about how to sign in between now and the cut over in May.


TABLE OF CONTENTS


Things to keep in mind:

  • The domain is still the same as it was for you before the email changes.
  • The domain is not commonwealthu!
  • Don't add any email domain to your username when signing into the SSO page.

Access Meetings

Once you have signed into Zoom on your device, click through any Zoom link to access a meeting. 


This is the easiest way for all Commonwealth University users to access Zoom meetings.


Potential Issues

If users are using the email and password login on the main Zoom login screen, they will not be able to access a licensed professional Zoom account. If they sign on with SSO and Zoom sends them an email, it is requesting they move to the domain. They should follow the directions in the email from Zoom to move to the domain for the school.


If users are external to CU of PA or PASSHE, then authentication on the meeting may need to be edited to allow them in. Please see How do I allow external participants in my Zoom meetings?
