How to sign into Zoom at UC Berkeley if you don't have a CalNet ID

NOTE: Beginning January 11, 2022, all Berkeley account holders should be using Single Sign-on (SSO) with their CalNet ID and passphrase to log in at https://berkeley.zoom.us or using the Zoom desktop client (SSO option). 

These instructions are for the small fraction (less than 0.5%) of Zoom users at UC Berkeley who have used Zoom accounts that do not end in @berkeley.edu.

I have a CalNet ID, but my Zoom account uses my non-Berkeley address

If you have a CalNet ID, but your Zoom account uses your non-Berkeley address, you are no longer able to access that account via the email and password fields. You should have received a notice from the Berkeley Zoom team about updating the account to user your @berkeley.edu address. If you are still unable to log in or are unclear about what to do, we urge you to contact zoom-help@berkeley.edu to ask that your Zoom account be updated to use your Berkeley address, so you can log in via your CalNet ID. This change was made to greatly enhance the security of your Zoom account and is inline with campus standards

I’m logging in to a Zoom account owned by a SPA (departmental account). Should I still use CalNet to log in?

Yes! As of January 11, 2022, this is the only way you will be able to login to a departmental account (SPA).

See https://calnetweb.berkeley.edu/calnet-departments/special-purpose-accounts-spa/log-spa for how to log in via CalNet using a SPA.

How do I get a CalNet ID if I don’t have one already?

Faculty, Staff, Students, and Affiliates of UC Berkeley can get CalNet IDs, starting from https://calnetweb.berkeley.edu/calnet-me/how-claim-your-calnet-id
