Why should I request a service account for Zoom instead of using my own NetID@wisc.edu Zoom account?
There are times when your department will be hosting an event (meeting/webinar) that should be owned/hosted by a shared service account. This will give you the ability to host this event via this service account and grant the ability for others to do the same.
How do I request a service account for Zoom?
Please submit your request using via our Zoom Service Account Request form.
The information you provide will be vetted by Zoom leadership for approval.
How do I access my service account?
After the service account has been activated for Zoom, your NetID account will be associated with the service account.
When logging into any Zoom client, you will presented with an account landing page where you can either select your NetID@wisc.edu account or any associated/linked service account.
