Linking a Personal Zoom Account Using a Yale Email Address to a Yale Zoom Account

If you created a personal Zoom account using your Yale email address, you can convert your personal account to a Yale Zoom account, which will provide you with a "Pro" license. A Yale Zoom account gives you access to all of the Zoom functions and features in your meetings that a "Basic" Zoom account may not have access to. This article will guide you through the process of converting a personal Zoom account that was set up with a Yale email address to a Yale Zoom account.

If you are seeing the error "User <email address> not exist or not belong to this account. Error Code 1001" in Canvas, one of the reasons may be because your Yale email account is associated with a basic Zoom account rather than Yale's Zoom account. Check out the "Resolving Zoom Errors (Error 2216 / Error 1001)" article to learn how to resolve this issue.
