Zoom is a cloud-based system that allows you to host online meetings, share your screen along with software and documents, facilitate group discussions and chats, and record and share meetings. WVU students, faculty and staff are given a licensed WVU Zoom account. After signing into your account, you can access the Zoom platform to join or host meetings. Each WVU Zoom Account is licensed to allow you to host unlimited meetings with up to 300 participants, limited to 24 hours long or less per meeting.
Students, faculty and staff cannot use personal Zoom account credentials to access their WVU Zoom account, even if their personal account uses a WVU email address. Users must sign out of their personal account and log back in using their WVU Zoom account. If you experience issues signing out of a personal account, try clearing your browser cache.
If you get an error that an account already exists with this email, contact the ITS Service Desk.
