Introduction
Historically CSCS has been able to provide licenses, but in 2023, the University set up a central University Zoom account that all institutions can join.
This central Univeristy license reduces the overall administrative burden of maintaining many licences and potentially lowers costs for individual institutions by consolidating the University's spend.
The School of Clinical Medicine Zoom accounts were consolidated with the central UIS account as of June 2023 and so CSCS will no longer be administering any Zoom accounts.
How to join the University’s Zoom account
In order to apply for a University Zoom license you must have an active CRSid. You must then submit a request to your department Telephone Liaison Officer (TLO) a list provided by UIS can be found here
If you are a TLO or require more detail on Zoom, what functionalityt & licenses are available or how to submit a request, please visit https://help.uis.cam.ac.uk/service/collaboration/university-zoom-account.
Signing in
Accounts in the University Zoom group will be forced to sign-in using “SSO” or Single Sign-On from .
We have created a guide here that demonstrates how you can sign in using single sign-on if you are unfamiliar -
Support
If you have a problem with an account, as this is now managed and maintained by the University Informations Services (UIS) team, CSCS may not be able to assist with account-based issues & and so may refer you to UIS, see their contect details here.
