Having trouble transferring to the Campus Zoom instance?

Certain circumstances will prevent you from transferring to the Campus Zoom instance:

1. You are already logged into your Zoom account
   • If you are currently logged into your Zoom account, which is associated with the other instance, you will first need to log out of your existing Zoom account and log back in to receive the prompt to transfer your account to the Campus Zoom instance.


2. Your email address is listed as the owner of a different Zoom instance
   • If you email address is the listed as the owner of a different Zoom instance, you will first need to transfer ownership of the other Zoom instance to another email address before you can transfer your Zoom account to the Campus Zoom instance. (Zoom KB: Changing the account owner)
     
     If the other Zoom instance is affiliated with UC Davis, it is recommended you create a Departmental Computing Account to transfer the other Zoom instance to so that all members of the other Zoom instance can transfer to the Campus Zoom instance successfully.


3. Your email address was used to purchase an individual Zoom license
   • If your email address was used to purchase an individual Zoom license, you will first need to either close the existing Zoom account associated with your email address or transfer ownership of the other Zoom instance to another email address before you can transfer your Zoom account to the Campus Zoom instance. (Zoom KB: Changing the account owner)


4. Your account does not an an email address associated with it
   • If the account you authenticate with does not have an @ucdavis.edu email address associated with it, you will not be able to transfer anything or sign into Zoom using that account. Please use a different account when trying to sign in, or transfer an account to, the Campus Zoom instance.


5. You are trying to sign in using an OU account
   • Because ADFS authentication to the Campus Zoom instance requires Duo Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and OU accounts are not eligible for Duo MFA, logging into the Campus Zoom instance will not work with an OU account. Please use a different account when trying to sign in, or transfer an account to, the Campus Zoom instance.
