Installing Zoom and logging in
Download and install
To use Zoom on your own device, you need to download Zoom on your machine and create an account by logging in with your University Single Sign on. Zoom should be available on University devices.
See 'How do I install Zoom' on: Zoom
Log in as host in Moodle
Only the Host, and any Alternative Host(s), can record Zoom sessions. There are some steps you should take to ensure that you, and anyone who may need to record a lecture in your papers, have hosting privileges. See also Alternative hosts.
Staff
To ensure that you have full hosting privileges on Zoom, check that you are fully signed in.
- Go to the staff home page (Te Hononga).
- Select the bottom star on the left hand side of the screen.
- Select Zoom and wait for your Zoom settings page to display.
- If requested, enter your normal staff username and password. You can now close this tab.
Students
Students who require alternative hosting privileges should visit the Student Landing page https://www.waikato.ac.nz/landing/student.shtml
On the left hand side, in the Quick Links menu, select Zoom. This ensures Zoom recognises who you are and your associated hosting privileges. Now go to Moodle and start the Zoom meeting.
Note:
Hosts can also assign co-hosting privileges to participants during a meeting for that meeting only.
