Web and Video Conferencing
Full Description:
When logging in to the Cornell Zoom instance for the first time, some users are receiving an error; most new Zoom users are able to login normally. The affected users were initially identified as encountering this error because they had a prior commercial or free (non-Cornell) Zoom account using their Cornell e-mail. This is expected behavior by Zoom to prevent duplicate accounts with the same e-mail. However, because of continued reports, the issue is now undergoing further investigation. Users encountering this issue can contact the IT Service Desk to have an account manually added to bypass the error.
