How to connect to a Zoom meeting through YSU Zoom account

How do I connect to a Zoom meeting?

Zoom is a videoconferencing site, and is somewhat similar to other alternative videoconferencing sites such as Webex or Microsoft Teams. There are many methods of connecting to meetings. We will discuss these different methods of joining a Zoom meeting in this article.  If you have a personal account with Zoom that uses your YSU email address, you will need to either roll your account into the YSU domain or change the email address on your personal account.  Then make sure that you are completely signed out of both the Zoom desktop application and the zoom.us website.
