Joining a Meeting on Zoom

There are different ways in which you can join a meeting and it can look different whether you use the website, the client or the app. Most often you will be invited to join a meeting by your teacher via a link they send out or publish on your course home page. When the meeting has started, click on the link and you will be brought directly to the meeting. It is always good to double check that you have logged in correctly before joining the meeting. If you click on a link and nothing happens, don't worry. There can be many reasons for this, which will be described below. There are also other ways to join a meeting, for example by using the meeting ID. 

 

The website 

Join a meeting on the website by logging in to lu-se.zoom.us and click Join a meeting.  From here, you need to enter the meeting ID that that you have received from your teacher. Sometimes you also need the password for the meeting. 

 

The Client

Log in to the client and press Join.

When you press Join you will be asked to write the Meeting ID and your name. 

   

The app

Log in on the app and press Join. Write the Meeting ID and password if requested. 

If it does not work 

Sometimes there is a problem getting into Zoom, and most often it is because you are signed in the wrong way. If you receive a message that states that only authenticated users may join the meeting, then you need to log in with your student account. 

  

The host can choose certain settings for the meeting, for example that the meeting does not start until the host arrives. If you try to join the meeting a few minutes before the meeting begins and nothing happens, simply wait until the host arrives.
