Joining a Meeting
This page contains information on some of the ways you can join Zoom meetings. The recommended steps differ depending on if you are a Host/Alternative Host or a participant. To practice joining meetings, try a Zoom test meeting. You can also visit the Zoom Help Center for more detailed information about joining Zoom meetings.
Before joining a meeting, you should open the Zoom Workplace application on your device and log in with your Tufts credentials. This will ensure that Zoom “recognizes” you as a member of the Tufts community, assigns you the appropriate role in the meeting (host, cohost, attendee), and uses your desired display name, profile picture, and other settings.
If you received a Join Link via a calendar invite, email, or chat, simply click on it (or copy-and-paste it into your browser) to join the meeting.
- Log into the Tufts Zoom website.
- Click Join.
- Provide the Meeting ID and Passcode.
Log into the Zoom Workplace application on your device with your Tufts credentials. From the home page, you can click Join and provide the meeting info or click Start if you see the meeting on your calendar.
Some internal meetings might be scheduled in a way that requires authentication with Tufts credentials to join. Follow the directions below.
- Click Sign In to Join.
- Select the Sign In with SSO option.
- When asked for the company domain, enter the word “tufts” so that the full domain reads “tufts.zoom.us”. Then click Continue.
- Log in with your Tufts username (e.g. jjumbo01) and password. You will also need to complete DUO two-factor authentication.
- Another browser tab will open. Click the Open Zoom option. (Note: If you joined the meeting using a Meeting ID number rather than a Meeting URL/Invite Link, you may also be asked to provide the Meeting Passcode.)
- The meeting will launch in the Zoom desktop application. Connect audio/video to participate.
