Sign into UW Zoom with a Shared NetID

Follow these steps if you are trying to sign into UW Zoom using a Shared UW NetID. This procedure shows you how to sign into a HIPAA-compliant UW Zoom account and a standard UW Zoom account.

Note: Using Shared UW NetIDs is possible, but not recommended with Zoom. A host account can host only one meeting at a time. When a second user tries to sign in and host a meeting on the same Zoom host account, the first user is automatically logged out. Using a UW NetID that is shared by several people may cause meeting time conflicts, resulting in potential meeting interruptions.

1. Sign out of all UW and Zoom websites.
2. Quit the browser.
3. Open a new browser session, making sure that you are not signed into any sites. 
4. Go to http://washington.zoom.us. If you are trying to sign into a HIPAA-compliant UW Zoom account, click HIPAA UW Zoom Pro Login.
   
   If you are trying to sign into a regular UW Zoom account, click UW Zoom Pro Login.
   
   Next, you should see the UW sign in page.
   
5. Enter the Shared UW NetID and password. 
6. You should see your Zoom profile page. To confirm that you are signed into the correct Zoom account,  look at the personal meeting ID on the profile page.
   • HIPAA UW Zoom Pro users: If you see something like “https://uw-phi.zoom.us/j/YourMeetingIDnumbers” then you are signed into the correct UW Zoom HIPAA account. The links for UW Zoom HIPAA account meetings all begin with https://uw-phi.zoom.us/. The first time you sign in to HIPAA, you will receive a prompt to confirm your account via email.
   • UW Zoom Pro users: If you see “https://washington.zoom.us/j/YourMeetingIDnumbers” then you are signed into the correct standard UW Zoom account. The links for standard UW Zoom account meetings all begin with https://washington.zoom.us/.
7. On the same profile page, the user type should say Licensed. If so, you are signed in correctly and can proceed with unlimited meeting length and unlimited meetings.
