Creating a Free Zoom Account

Important: If you have someone outside of OU who needs to join your meeting, they will need to create a Zoom account first using the following instructions. If you are a student, staff, or faculty member at OU, you do not need to create an account and can log in to Zoom directly through a browser or the Zoom client. Please visit this article for more information.

 

Creating a Free Zoom Account
