Quick Windows How-To For Zoom Client For CS Faculty/Staff

  • Install Zoom Client
  • Launch Zoom Client
  • At the Zoom "Sign In page", click on Sign In with SSO on the right side of the page.
    • This takes you to a "Sign In with SSO" window.
  • In the blank space, where it says Company Domain simply type wse
    • The rest of the domain, .zoom.us, is already filled out for you.
  • Click Continue
