To join a Zoom meeting, you will need the meeting information from the host. Before you join, make sure your device is compatible and you have the Zoom client installed. If you don't have the Zoom client, you'll be prompted to install it when you join.
Finding a Link to Join a Meeting
Depending on how the host scheduled a meeting, you may find a meeting invitation in a few places:
Email or Manual Distribution
If your host invited you to your meeting via email, you should receive the meeting link, Meeting ID/Passcode, and dial-in information. Your host may also include joining information though other means such as posting on a website, WebCampus, flyer, etc.
Google Calendar
If the host scheduled in Google Calendar and opted to send email invitations to invited guests, you will receive a Google Calendar invitation with a link to join the Zoom meeting.
WebCampus
If you do not see the Zoom link in your course, contact your Instructor.
If your instructor has enabled the Zoom integration in your WebCampus course, meetings scheduled with the integration will appear there:
- Open your WebCampus course
- In the left navigation, select Zoom
- Upcoming meetings will display
Joining a Meeting
There are a few ways that you can join a Zoom meeting you were invited to:
- In the course’s Zoom page, select Upcoming Meetings
- Select Join
- You will be prompted to launch the meeting in the Zoom app
- Prior to joining, you have the option to input your name.
- If your instructor enabled a waiting room, you will remain there until you are admitted to the room by the host or co-host
If you have the link to the meeting, launch the link on your device. If you don't have the Zoom client installed, you'll be prompted to install it to join.
If you were invited though Google Calendar, you can also select Join Zoom Meeting from the calendar entry. Meeting information will also be available in the meeting details:
