Logging into Zoom & Updating Your Zoom Software

Logging into Zoom with your MSU credentials is imperative in order to be able to use Zoom “Pro” accounts effectively. MSU provides all faculty, staff, and students with a “Pro” account license for free.  If you ever are unable to record a meeting, see your profile picture or manage attendees (such as mute them) it means you are not logged into Zoom. To login to Zoom “Pro” follow these instructions:

  1. Find the Zoom application on your computer by either locating the Zoom icon on your desktop or selecting your Start button and typing in the word "Zoom." If Zoom is not on your computer you can download it at: https://zoom.us/download.

  2. The Zoom application will open and prompt you to either Join a Meeting or Sign In. You should select the Sign In link.

  3. Do not select the option to sign in on the left. You should select the Sign in with SSO button on your right. This will log you in with your Single Sign On through MSU (this is what will associate your login with your MSU NetID account).
