Introduction
In this guide, you will learn how to configure Zoom to start when Mac starts & how to log in after Zoom starts. After you are logged in to Zoom, you will be shown as “Online” to other Zoom users, thus enabling features like direct-dial & chat.

-
Before you begin, log in to your Mac and go to the desktop.

If you do not have Zoom installed on your computer, please install it prior to continuing this guide.

Download via https://zoom.us/download

-
Go to Finder > Applications > Zoom to open the Zoom application.
-
Pro tip: use spotlight search (CMD + Space) & type Zoom to quickly locate the application.
-
If you are not signed in to Zoom, do so now.
-
You should choose the Sign In with SSO option, in the Enter your company domain field type umd and then click Continue.
-
CAS will open in your browser. Sign in & complete your Duo push. When you are finished, Chrome may prompt you to "open a link in Zoom." Click allow or ok.
-
Once you are on the Zoom home screen, continue to the next step. The home screen looks like the third picture in this step.
-
-
-
In your Mac's dock, right click on the Zoom icon.
-
Hover over Options to open the submenu.
-
Click on the option for Open at Login.
-
From now on, when you start Mac, Zoom will also automatically start. You will still need to go through the sign in process but everything will be pre-filled.
-
When Zoom first loads, click Sign In as you normally would, then click Sign In with SSO, then click Continue (umd should already be pre-filled in the text box). You will not need to authenticate via CAS again & will be automatically signed in.
-
After you sign in to Zoom, you will be shown as "Online" to other UMD Zoom users, thus enabling direct-dial & other Zoom features.

Congratulations, you now know how to configure Zoom to start when Mac starts & how to sign in after Zoom starts.
