Over 20,000 personal Zoom accounts use email addresses, but are not using the UW-Madison Zoom educational license. Individuals using a personal Zoom account with a email address are being asked to migrate to UW–Madison Zoom or change the email address on their personal account.

If you receive an email saying you aren’t yet part of UW–Madison Zoom, log into using SSO and NetID.

If you have not signed in using SSO and NetID, you have not officially joined UW–Madison Zoom yet. To officially join UW–Madison Zoom and enjoy all the additional benefits and protections of the university contract, you must go to and sign in with your NetID credentials via Single Sign On (SSO).

If you receive an email from DoIT about migrating to UW–Madison Zoom, please take action so you don’t lose access to your Zoom files, appointments, and history.

The Zoom Implementation team is currently working to migrate existing Zoom users with email addresses into the new UW-Madison Zoom.
