SSO (Single Sign-On) is a feature in Zoom that allows you to sign in with the credentials of your company or organization. For our purposes, this means you’ll need to use SSO for most Zoom calls hosted through the University, seeing as a lot of these calls have security measures in place to prevent non-authorized users from joining.
