Zoom

In order to use Zoom’s Audio Conference component, you’ll need a Pro account. Please look below to find out how to request a Pro Zoom account.

Once you have a Pro Zoom account, login to your Zoom account and find your conference details under Personal Audio Conference [1].

The only information you need to share with participants to your meetings are local dial-in numbers [2] for the country they’re in and your Conference ID [3] for the account you want to use (each Zoom account has 2 Personal Audio conference accounts for added flexibility). If you need to find out other international dial-in numbers, click on Edit [4] to display them.

In order to start the meeting, you’ll also need your Host Key [5] (which you shouldn’t share that with other participants to your meetings).

User accounts should log in here: berkeley.zoom.us to schedule and manage their meetings.

Departmental accounts should log in here: zoom.us/signin (if you don’t have a password yet, use the Forgot Password link to create one).

Regular participants don’t need to log in or have a Zoom account, they just need to use the link or meeting information provided by the host.

Yes, all participants do need to download the Zoom Cloud Meetings app before joining their first meeting. The app for PC/Mac or mobile devices can be downloaded from here: zoom.us/download.

You can upgrade your Basic Zoom account to a Pro from the Telecomn Team.

Whether it’s a one-to-one call or a conference call with multiple people, you can use Zoom to talk internationally at no cost. No Zoom account is needed for the remote participants and they can use any internet-connected device. The only information needed to establish a call is your Personal Meeting ID.

To find your Personal Meeting ID, login to your berkeley.zoom.us using your CalNet ID and click on Profile on the left sidebar.

Let us know if you need more information about how to use Zoom for international meetings!

The Co-Host feature will allow you to assign another user in the meeting hosting privileges. This can be useful to allow another user to manage the administrative side of the meeting, such as muting participants or starting/stopping the recording.
