All Winona State University students and employees should sign in to Zoom using your StarID credentials to join meetings that require StarID authentication. If you are not signed in to Zoom with your StarID credentials, the "(Guest)" tag is appended to your display name in the meeting's Participant list, you may be placed in the session's waiting room, and you will not be recognized as an Alternative Host or Panelist. You can sign in to Zoom using your StarID credentials at any time and you will remain signed in until you sign out or are required to sign in again (e.g., following a major Zoom update).

Sign in with SSO using your StarID Credentials

  • Open the Zoom application on your computer, phone, or tablet. If you don't know how to do this, review these instructions. If you are not already signed in to Zoom, you will see a window that resembles Figure 1. If you are already signed in, you will see a window that resembles Figure 4.

NOTE: If you have signed into Zoom before with a personal Zoom account or with your Google or Facebook credentials, you must first Sign Out. See instructions in the next section on how to Sign Out.

On your computer

  1. Open Zoom desktop application (see instructions above) and select Sign In (Fig 1)
  2. Select the Sign In with SSO button (Fig 3)
  3. In the Sign In with SSO window, enter company domain minnstate and .zoom.us (do not use .zoomgov.com) (Fig 4.1) and select Continue (Fig 4.2). Your default browser will open to the StarID sign in page.
  4. Enter your StarID username (e.g., ab1234cd) and password and select Sign On.
  5. Select Open Zoom if prompted by your browser.
  6. The Zoom application will open to the Home tab (Fig. 5) and you will be signed in. Select your avatar (Fig 6.1) to verify that you are "Licensed" and your full name and Winona State University email address are displayed (Fig. 6.2).

Once you sign in, you will remain signed in until you sign out or install a major Zoom update. When you sign in with SSO you are an Authenticated user and will not show up as Guest.
