Description
A guide to setting up an allocated Zoom account and referrals to additional resources.
Instructions
- You will receive an email from Zoom to set up your account to your Phoenix College employee email. If you do not receive this email, check your filters and Spam folder first and then contact helpdesk@phoenixcollege.edu (or respond to your original ticket). When you receive this email, select “Approve the Request.”
- All accounts are created as MEID@phoenixcollege.edu (we will let you know if your account is an exception). When you go to the screen to approve the request, click on the “Sign in with Google” button, which will pass you to a screen where you can sign in to Google or select your account.
- Choose the same MEID@phoenixcollege.edu account and then click “Create Account.”
- If you previously had a Zoom account with your Phoenix College employee email, you may be prompted during set-up to acknowledge and switch your account to a new Zoom account under our institutional license. Select “I Acknowledge and Switch” to proceed. The process may take some time, but you can use your original account as normal as you wait. You will receive an email when the process is complete.
- Go to the PC Zoom login page at https://phoenixcollege-edu.zoom.us/signin. Important! Select the option to Sign in with Google and choose your Phoenix College employee email! This will make it easier for you to log in using your employee account in the future.
Additional Information and Resources
You are now ready to get started Zoom-ing around! Here is a quick start guide to get you started. Please ignore the account set-up section.
Installing Zoom
It is recommended you download the desktop version of Zoom rather than use the web browser to participate in meetings from a computer.
If you are using a Phoenix College device, you can easily do this from the Software Center in Windows. Click start, find “Software Center” in the menu, and open it, you will find Zoom in the applications list. Just click on it and click the blue “Install” button.
If you are using a personal computer or device go to the Download Center at Zoom.
Account Set Up
The PC Information Technology and Center for Teaching and Learning teams have worked together to set up the Zoom security and account settings in a way that supports the standard and secure deployment of meetings. Some are default settings that can be changed, and some, deemed critical for security, are locked and cannot be changed. If you have any questions or concerns about these settings, please contact helpdesk@phoenixcollege.edu.

Usage Monitoring & Continued Allocation of Licenses
We will be monitoring use (meeting/participant numbers) and feature demand in order to inform future discussions regarding Zoom as a conferencing solution. Since we have a limited number of licenses, between semesters, we will look at accounts with low usage and scheduling to reassess whether continuation of an account is required.
