Download and Install Zoom
All DMU-issued devices should have Zoom installed, and updates are pushed regularly during non-work hours (evenings/weekends). When off campus, employees must connect to VPN to receive the updates. If you are not able to connect to VPN to receive updates or if you need to install Zoom on a personal device, you can download it here--just click Download under the heading Zoom Workplace desktop app, then run the program and follow any prompts. Or click here to download the mobile app for Apple or Android devices. If you are able to connect to VPN or are on campus, and you need to manually update your Zoom client, click here for instructions on how to update to the most recently deployed version of Zoom. Zoom also has a plugin for Microsoft Outlook if you want to schedule your Zoom meetings directly from Outlook. Click here to download the Zoom plugin for Outlook. Troubleshooting If the install does not work or you run into errors, you may need to uninstall Zoom first and then install the new version. To uninstall: Click the Start button from your Windows toolbar and then select Settings > Apps Find Zoom on the list of installed apps and click Uninstall.

How to Log into the Zoom Desktop Application
This article will explain how to log into the Zoom Desktop Application, or check whether you're already logged in. Some meeting hosts may request you log into Zoom with your DMU email address prior to joining a Zoom meeting in order to bypass the waiting room they have enabled as a security feature for the meeting. This is different than being logged into the Zoom website or logged into D2L or any other website. Follow the steps below if you are joining the Zoom meeting from a laptop or desktop computer. If you’re joining from a mobile phone or tablet, the steps will be similar, but you’ll want to open the Zoom mobile app. From a Windows machine, click the Start menu and select Zoom or click the search bar and type Zoom. The Zoom desktop application should open, similar to one of the screenshots below. Figure 1 Figure 2 If you see something like Figure 2, click your initials or photo in the top-right corner and verify which email address is displayed. If you see your DMU email address, you’re all set! If you see a different email address, click Sign Out at the bottom. If you see something like Figure 1 instead or needed to log out of your personal Zoom account, click Sign In. Then click Sign In with SSO. In the Company Domain field, enter dmuedu (no dot/period or other characters in the middle) and then click Continue. Your default Internet browser should open and may either log you in automatically with your DMU account through single sign-on or prompt you to enter your normal DMU username and password. Then the Zoom desktop client will relaunch and log you in. If you still need help, click here to request assistance with Zoom.

Check and Update Your Zoom Version
We recommend keeping your Zoom client (Zoom Workplace) up to date to ensure effective security measures and for access to new features within Zoom. This article will explain how to check your Zoom client version on a desktop or laptop computer, as well as the process for updating your client if needed. Note: The Zoom client (Zoom Workplace) is the desktop Zoom application installed on your computer, which is different than the Zoom website interface. ITS manages the deployment of the Zoom client to DMU issued devices, and therefore the manual update process differs for personal versus DMU issued devices. Please see specifics on this update process below. How to check your Zoom version on a laptop or desktop computer. Open your Zoom client (Zoom Workplace) which should be installed on your computer, and Sign in with SSO if you see the screen below. Once you're signed in, click your initials or photo in the top-right corner of the Zoom client and select Help > About Zoom. You'll see a pop-up like the one below with your Zoom version listed. How to manually update Zoom on a personal device If you find you need to update your Zoom client and you're on a personal device, you may click your initials or photo in the top right corner and choose Check for Updates. How to manually update Zoom Workplace on a DMU issued device If you are on a DMU issued device you will not be able to "Check for Updates" from Zoom Workplace. To update Zoom Workplace on a DMU issued device, follow these steps: Note: If you are off campus, you will first need to connect to VPN before you continue. Click on the Windows button in the bottom left corner of your screen and type “Software Center”. Select the Software Center app. On the Applications tab, find the Zoom Workplace app and select it. If the button shows Install, click it to install the update. If it shows Uninstall, double check what version of Zoom you have installed (see steps at the top of this article) and if it does not match the version number from the announcement check with the Solutions Hub for assistance. If your version does match the version number mentioned in the announcement then you do not need to do anything further. You may also need to update your Zoom Outlook plugin. Closing out of Outlook after updating Zoom should prompt you for the Zoom Outlook Client update, but if you do not have it installed you may get that from Software Center as well on the Applications page. If you still need help, click here to request assistance with Zoom.
