How to sign into your UC Berkeley Zoom account

Before you can join most Zoom meetings at UC Berkeley you will need to be signed in to your Zoom account, using your CalNet ID and Passphrase.

In the Zoom desktop and mobile apps, you can do this via the “Sign in with SSO” (Single Sign-On) option. See below for step-by-step instructions.

How to access Zoom, using:

• Web browser
• Desktop app
• Mobile app
• Zoom accounts owned by SPAs (Special Purpose Accounts/Departmental accounts)
• If you do not have a CalNet ID

Web browser

1. Go to https://berkeley.zoom.us, and click “Sign in”, or navigate directly to https://berkeley.zoom.us/signin.
2. You will see the standard CalNet login screen. Sign in using your CalNet ID and Passphrase. If you need to sign in as a SPA, see the instructions at Log in as a SPA | CalNet - Identity and Access Management.
   

Desktop app
