Install Zoom on a Personal Device

To schedule Zoom meetings from your personal device, install the Zoom app. The installed app provides the best experience whether you are a meeting host or participant.  Make sure to install the Zoom app well ahead of your meeting to allow for ample time to check settings.

Note: To participate in Zoom meetings on your mobile devices you do not need to install the mobile app. However,  you must still have previously activated your Zoom account by signing into the Zoom portal with your UWSP account. 

All UWSP computers automatically have the Zoom application and Outlook plug-in installed.
