For Information on how to obtain a U of T Zoom account, see the Academic & Collaborative Technologies (ACT) webpage.

Note: If you are already using your U ofT  email account with paid add-ons, do not register for a Zoom account through U of T.

Departmental Accounts

• Department or Shared email accounts are not eligible under the University's Education Zoom license — a UTORid is required for each account.
• If everyone in the department has a U of T Zoom account, they can all schedule meetings and add each other as co-hosts. This means that anyone can host any of the scheduled calls/events, negating the need for a shared Zoom account.
