The following steps will get you Zooming in no time!
It is very important that you download Zoom and log in with your UTHSC credentials rather than use a free account. Your meetings can last longer, have more attendees, and many of the features that don't work with a free Zoom account. You must log in with the SSO option (see step 7) or you will experience issues when using Zoom.
