Zoom Accounts and Logging In

This article discusses the different type of Zoom accounts, how to request an account, and how to login.

Zoom Accounts

There are two types of accounts: Basic and Pro.

• Basic accounts are free but come with 40 minute hosting limitations for more than 2 total participants.
  • Basic accounts are available to all current faculty, staff and students by using their Southeast email account
    • Visit http://semo.zoom.us and click Sign in     OR
    • If the Zoom meeting app is installed, start the app, click the sign in with SSO option
    • Either option will cause a basic account to be created.
• Pro accounts will allow you to host classes or conference sessions without time limitations.
  • Pro accounts are provided at no cost to the department (while available)
  • Normally Pro accounts are only provided to faculty and staff who have a need to host meetings/classes that last over 40 minutes
  • Students may be provided a Pro license if they have a specific need such as online tutoring or providing services within a campus unit or department.
