FAQs­­

I have a HIPAA-compliant account, should I log in with SSO?

No changes will be made to HIPAA-compliant accounts at this time. Continue to log in with your existing Zoom username and password. If you require both a standard Pro account and a HIPAA compliant Pro account to use for clinical/research functions, please contact the IT Service Desk.

Why do I get a message that I am joining a meeting outside of my domain?

After logging in with SSO, users’ Zoom meeting links will change from zoom.us to ua-edu.zoom.us; however, both links will be functional for participants to join.

Why are my new meeting links different after logging in with SSO?

Existing meeting links and settings should remain consistent; however, new meeting links will transition from uasystem.zoom.us to ua-edu.zoom.us. When convenient, it may be a good idea to establish new meeting links to offer consistent URL meeting links.

I am not able to log in with SSO, why is that?

OIT offers Zoom accounts to current UA students, faculty and staff only. If you are no longer affiliated with UA, your account has likely been deleted.
