Joining a Zoom Meeting
If a Zoom tab does not open up when Chrome starts, click the Zoom app in at the bottom of the Chromebook start screen to launch Zoom. Remember that if you close that tab (or app) , then you won't be able to join a Zoom meeting.
To get your login working again, try these steps:
- Go to your managed bookmarks and select : "Login to Zoom". This will force your browser to log you in to Zoom using your fsd145 username and password.
- Please keep the Zoom tab open after you have verified you are logged in correctly.
- Open a new tab try your Zoom meeting link. It's probably in an email, posted to Schoology or Padlet.
If this does not correct the problem for you, it could be something wrong with the setup of the meeting. If that's the case, please contact your teacher(s) to let them know. They can adjust settings or get technical support to get Zoom working properly.
