Zoom is a web conferencing application that can be used for online meetings, webinars, chat, mobile collaboration, and other types of online communication.
To sign in, go to ncsu.zoom.us and click the Use NC State Login button. This will log you in using your NC State credentials.
Some features of Zoom can be used directly in a Web browser, but for the best experience using Zoom, it is recommended to download and use the Zoom client application, which is available from ncsu.zoom.us/download. For mobile devices (iOS and Android), visit your platform’s app store and search for "zoom" to find the Zoom mobile app.
When you launch the Zoom client, there are two options. Select Join a Meeting if you want to join an existing meeting or select Sign In for all other functions.
Zoom is integrated with NC State’s Single Sign On (SSO) system. On the Sign In screen, click the Sign In With SSO button, and on the next screen, enter "ncsu" (with no punctuation), and then click Continue. You will be directed to a browser window to log in with your NC State credentials.
Once you have logged in, you will see the home screen. There are four tabs at the top of the screen: Home, Chat, Meetings, and Contacts. The default tab is "Home". Some of the things you can do on the home screen are:
