How do I install and login to Zoom on my personal computer?
There are Zoom apps for Windows and Mac desktops/laptops. This guide describes how to find the appropriate software to install.
Important Note:
This guide is for installing Zoom on your PERSONAL computer, i.e. not a Goldey-Beacom College-provided computer. It is extremely important that you follow the login directions that reference using SSO (Single Sign-On) and that you DO NOT create a personal Zoom account with your GBC e-mail address as that will cause login issues.
