Join a Zoom Meeting on A Shared Computer

Reminder: Beginning in winter 2025, users will be required to login to shared computers with their Queen's NetID in QHS IT-supported rooms.

There are different ways to start or join a Zoom meeting when using a shared computer in a QHS space (e.g., small group room, lecture theatre, conference room).

Use Zoom Desktop Application (Recommended)

1. Log in to the shared computer using your Queen's NetID.
2. Look for the Zoom icon on the desktop or search for it from the taskbar (usually in the bottom left).
3. Log into your Zoom account using your Queen's NetID.
4. Once logged in to Zoom, click Join to enter a meeting id and password as previously provided to you by the meeting host, or start a meeting displaying in your account. (If you do not see "Join Meeting", select "More" at the top of the Zoom window and then select "Home".)
