How to Download and Install Zoom App on Mac for UCL Users

Are you a University College London (UCL) student or staff member looking to download and install the Zoom app on your Mac device? This article will guide you through the process, ensuring you have a seamless experience.

Before proceeding, ensure that your machine is connected to the UCL network on campus or via VPN connection if working from home. You do not need admin rights to your device to complete this installation.

Step 1: Download the Zoom App

The download will automatically detect your Operating System and download the correct client for you. To begin, simply visit the 'Zoom app download mac'(https://zoom.us/download) page.

Step 2: Sign In to the Zoom Application

Once the download is complete, open the Zoom application and sign in using your current UCL password (the one you use for your email). Select 'Sign in' and enter your UCL username in the format of 'uczxxxx'.

Step 3: Fill Out the Single Sign-On Page

You will be taken to the UCL single sign-on page in your browser. Enter 'ucl' in the company domain field and continue.

Important: Do not use the main email and password boxes to sign in with your UCL account, as this will not work.

Step 4: Install the Zoom Client

After signing in, you can install the Zoom client on your Mac device. To do so:

1. Click on the Zoom app icon in the Dock.

2. Click on 'Install' to begin the installation process.

3. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.

Alternatively, you can also install the Zoom client from the Software Centre on your Mac:

1. Go to the Search box next to the Start menu and type in 'Software Centre'.

2. In the Software Centre, search for 'Zoom' and click on the result.

3. Click on the 'Install' button to begin the installation process.

Tips:

* The Zoom app will download automatically when you start or join your first meeting, but it is recommended that you download it in advance to ensure everything is set up prior to your meeting.

* You can use the Zoom client without admin rights on your device.

By following these steps, you should now have the Zoom app installed and ready for use on your Mac device.
