How do I join a meeting?

Meetings can be joined through an email invite, from a browser through LIU’s Zoom home page, from the Zoom desktop and mobile app, by phone, and with a video conferencing system.  Each meeting will have a unique meeting ID that is required to join a Zoom meeting.  If you are joining by phone, you will need the teleconferencing number provided in the invitation. Meetings can also be scheduled on behalf of another user when scheduling permission has been granted.

To sign into Zoom at LIU you will need to use your full university email address (john.doe@liu.edu OR jane.doe@my.liu.edu)

You can record your Zoom meeting or webinar locally to your computer or to the cloud. Locally recorded meetings and webinars can only be accessed on the computer that recorded the meeting. Cloud recordings can be accessed through Canvas. The host must record the meeting or grant a participant the ability to record. To start recording a meeting, click the Record icon on the Zoom toolbar.
