To participate in the online sessions scheduled on the Zoom platform in virtual classrooms, you need have an active Zoom account linked to your UVic-UCC email account (@uvic.cat or @umedicina.cat). This is why you need to activate it before logging in to a session. Once activated, you will be able to join sessions directly from Moodle classrooms.
The activation process will vary depending on whether or not you already have a zoom.us account registered with a @uvic.cat or @umedicina.cat address.
If you do not have a zoom.us account associated with a UVic-UCC mail profile, you just need to activate your account. You can follow the steps below or watch the explanatory video: open the video.
- Go to: https://uvic-cat.zoom.us
- Select the “Accede” option.
- Enter your Virtual Campus access credentials.
- That’s it! You’re done
If you already have an account at zoom.us associated with your UVic-UCC email address, you will need to transfer its management to the UVic-UCC Zoom corporate account.
- For a paid licence, access the account and change the email address associated with it (other than @uvic.cat or @umedicina.cat). Then follow the instructions above “If you do not have a zoom.us account associated with a UVic-UCC mail profile”.
- For a basic (unpaid) licence at Zoom, go to https://uvic-cat.zoom.us and select the “Accede” option.
- Zoom will detect that you already have an account and start the process of transferring it to your UVic account. You will be asked to confirm your UVic-UCC email. Select “Confirm your email address”
- Open your UVic-UCC email. You’ll find a new Zoom email asking you to confirm the change.
- Click on “Switch to new account”. Before you confirm the change, Zoom informs you of the changes that will be applied. Select “I accept the change”.
- You will receive confirmation of the change and be able to log in. Select “Login to open the page”.
- That’s it! Your UVic-UCC account is now activated with Zoom.
