Getting Started

To get started, navigate to https://fresno.zoom.us and sign in using your FPU Office 365 credentials. This will instantly provision a "Basic" account for you. For faculty/staff, you will need to contact the IT Helpdesk to request to be upgraded to a "Licensed" account. (Zoom Account Types)
Next you will need to download and install the Zoom Meetings application.
Once installed, launch the application and use the "Login with SSO" option to login. And just like that, you're ready to Zoom!
