Activating Your WWU Student Zoom for Western Pro Account

All faculty, staff, and students have access to Zoom Pro licenses through Western’s Zoom portal.

Students, however, need to activate their Zoom for Western Pro licenses.

This is especially important for students when a Zoom meeting requires authentication. Most students will enter Zoom meetings created by their instructors via Canvas. Students are advised to activate their Zoom account prior to the first day of class. Once students FIRST login to Zoom for Western, their Zoom account will be activated.

For details on how to activate your student Zoom for Western Pro account, please see:
Activating and Confirming Zoom for Western: For Students

If a student has a personal/free account, they will be able to join a Zoom class meeting without being activated, but they will only show up as a "Guest" even if they authenticate through WWU to access the meeting.
