Always sign in to Zoom using SSO (single sign-on)

Signing in with SSO (single sign-on) establishes the connection between the desktop client or mobile app with your HCC Zoom web account in the cloud. You can join a meeting directly from the desktop client or mobile app if you know the Meeting ID which is the last part of a Zoom meeting link.

Enter haywood for the company domain and yourusername@haywood.edu as the company login. If already logged in to your Haywood accounts with SSO, you might get only one or none of these prompts.
