Zoom is integrated with A-State’s SSO (single sign-on) for easier login. New and previous users can login through SSO by going to astatecall.zoom.us. Faculty and staff who had licensed Zoom accounts prior to January 1st, can also continue signing in at zoom.us with the password they previously created.
The site license with Zoom greatly enhances our ability to secure web conferences. For example, faculty teaching hybrid classes can enableauthentication profiles in their account settings. This setting will allow only participants to join from the A-State domain (@astate.edu and/or @smail.astate.edu). You can find details and step-by-step instructions in the Zoom Help Center under Authentication Profiles for meetings and webinars.
