Participation in Meetings only with Login

One possibility to keep away unwanted participants and troublemaker from your own meetings is to require a login before joining the meeting with a account from Kiel University.

Set login for participants as default requirement

We recommend to make adjustments in your own seetings to not have to repeat all settings in every meeting to be created. Change to the interface of zoom in your browser, navigate to your personal settings then to the tab 'Meeting' and there click on 'Schedule a new meeting'. You will find the following option:

When this option is enabled additional settings will be displayed:

In this context means:

• 'Bei Zoom Anmelden ('Sign in to Zoom'): This option allows any users to join the meeting, as long as they are signed into their Zoom account, it is not required to be one at Kiel University.
• 'Logged in with Zoom account of University Kiel': For Login a Zoom account within the Zoom-Site of the University Kiel is needed
• 'Uni Kiel mail address': An account with an e-mail address ending with 'uni-kiel.de' is required.

The first option does not make sense if you want to keep away troublemaker. So choose for this option 'Hide in selection'. The third option is generally better, but has the problem that is does not work with an account that does not end with :.uni-kiel.de'. Therefore, we recommend setting the second option as the default. Anyone with a Zoom account in the CAU area can participate.

After this the general option for using any zoom account is hidden and the Kiel University specific option is set by default.

Enable login when planning a meeting

If you plan a meeting enable under meeting options following option

  'Only authenticated users can join meetings'

If you already have changed your default setting as mentioned above the box belonging to 'Only authenticated users can join meetings' is already checked and you should see selected option 'Logged in with Zoom account of University Kiel':

If you have not changed your default settings the general login with any zoom account is set as default. With a click you can display the options and the specific Kiel University profile:

Please note: Every Participant needs to have an account

Please not that all participants need an account in zoom belonging to the Zoom-site of the University Kiel. All enrolled students do have such an account.

If login problems should occur, please check if the Zoom account really belongs to the University Kiel and wasn't just registered personally just using that university email address. 

What is the direct cause of this setting for participants that want to join the meeting?

Even if the participants know the meeting id and the meeting password, they have to sign in if they want to join the meeting:

If the login is successful but the e-mail address is not assigned to one of the approved domains an error message will occur:
