Body

Switch Existing Zoom Account (Personal Account with UFV Email to UFV License)

UFV now provides a Zoom license for employees. If you already had a Zoom account created with your UFV employee email before UFV launched the service, you can choose one of the two options below:

Option 1 - Keep both accounts separate - To accomplish this, you need to change the UFV email address on your existing Zoom account to a personal email. Once changed, you can sign in to both Zoom accounts separately, one existing with your personal email and another once with UFV email (UFV provided account).

Option 2 - Combine both accounts -  This can be done when you sign in to Zoom for the first time after the Zoom launch at UFV. The next section below shows steps on how to do it.
