How to Login to Zoom with your NYC DOE Account

Zoom and the New York City Department of Education recently came to a contract and in order to use Zoom, NYC DOE employees will now need to login with their NYC DOE credentials.

Video Tutorial:  https://youtu.be/212aRS6VEgw

1. Log out of your current Zoom account.

2. Open up the program and click "SSO" to login.

3. Type "nycdoe" before the zoom.us in the space provided.

4. Use your current NYC DOE credentials to login.  Be sure to remove the /CENTRAL and DO NOT include the @schools.nyc.doe --> so JUST your username and password.

For students to use Zoom, they will also need to use their DOE accounts:  https://www.schools.nyc.gov/learn-at-home/technical-tools-and-support/doe-student-accounts
