What's the difference between a basic free personal Zoom account and a Zoom Licensed (Pro) account?
If you login using <your NetID>@uthsc.edu, you are accessing a basic free personal Zoom account.
By logging in with your SSO into tennessee.zoom.us, you are accessing your UTHSC Zoom Licensed (Pro) account. UTHSC has created a HIPAA sub-account to ensure your Zoom meetings, webinars, and courses are safer. Note: You may be asked to authenticate using DUO during this process. If you are experiencing issues with your current Zoom meeting links, you must switch to the HIPAA Zoom Account for the links to work.
We know this is confusing!
