There are several options for using Zoom. You can use all of these, but you should keep the Zoom app open on your computer whenever you are using the phone or meetings.

  • The Zoom web portal at bucknell.zoom.us in your web browser.
  • The Zoom app installed on a computer.

For routine Zoom use, all Bucknell-owned faculty and staff computers have the Zoom app installed. The Zoom app will automatically launch when the user logs on. The Zoom app should remain open any time the user wants to use any features of Zoom - meetings or phone calls. The user must remain logged into the Zoom app to use these features.
