The Fall 2020 semester has officially started! Getting into the swing of things looks a little different this semester, but IT Services is here with your handy helping of tech tips for one of your favorite web conferencing platforms: Zoom.

Login tips

We have created an account for you within the Miami Zoom domain. Your Miami UniqueID and password will get you logged in. If you are using the desktop app, please make sure to select “Sign in with SSO” in order to use your Miami credentials. SSO means “single sign-on,” which is the red login page you’re so used to seeing.

You can also reach your Zoom account by visiting MiamiOH.zoom.us.

Time limits

We have received some questions about the 40-minute time limit on meetings. This is a requirement for personal accounts, but since Miami has an enterprise license, your account will not be limited to 40-minute meetings.

However, if you don’t invite anyone else to the meeting (e.g., for testing purposes), Zoom will automatically end the meeting after 40 minutes. Get around this by inviting someone else (a guinea pig, if you will) to sit in the meeting with you while you do your testing.

Editing meetings

We have determined that in order to edit meetings, you will need to visit your account at MiamiOH.zoom.us from your favorite web browser. This includes meetings that you created within Canvas.
