Hint! In the Zoom Client settings you can choose to have the client start automatically when you log on to the computer. This may be practical if you often use Zoom. 

1. When the download is complete a choice of sign in options will be displayed
2. Select SSO
3. Check that USN is in the field. It should appear automatically.
4. Log in with your normal FEIDE login credentials, i.e. USN User Name and Password. If necessary, look for "Universitetet i Sørøst-Norge" for the correct affiliation.

Once the user has been authenticated you will be asked if you want to continue connecting in the browser. Confirm this.

Your Client will then look like this:

• If you don't log out of the client manually, it will remember your login credentials next time, so you won't need to log in again on your own machine. 
• You may be logged in to Zoom on one computer, one tablet or one mobile phone at a time. If you are already logged in on one device, logging in on an additional device will automatically log you out on the first one.
• If you don't want to use Zoom Client, you can go to https://usn.zoom.us and select "Sign in", then "USN", and log in using your FEIDE login credentials to activate the user.

1. Click on the Zoom button on the Canvas course page.
   Provided that you have logged in at least once to Zoom Client or via usn.zoom.us, you will be automatically connected to your Zoom account.

Note: If you see "Error code 2016", this means that you have not logged in to Zoom Client or the web page at least once, and must do that first.
