Free or UT account? Having trouble entering a meeting/class/consult?
First check what account you're using and if it isn't the UT one, download the desktop app again and sign in using the UT single sign on. Scroll down to "Verify that you're signed in with your UT Zoom account" and if you aren't, scroll up to "signing in for the first time" for instructions.
If you are holding a Zoom meeting with people from outside UT, you can still let them in easily. When you schedule the meeting initially in Zoom, go into the settings and change them to allow non-authenticated users to join.
