For teachers, it’s a better classroom experience.
For students, the technology simplifies username and password management, streamlining the user experience. Students are properly identified within the meeting using the name from your IDP, and only authenticated students are allowed into the session, which provides a host of advantages.įor school and IT administrators, Zoom’s external authentication adds an extra security layer to their hybrid learning processes. With Zoom’s external authentication, school IT administrators can now set up their Zoom account so students are required to authenticate against their school identity system or SSO provider before joining a meeting. That experience is now extended to the classroom for students, who don’t need a Zoom account but benefit from a more unified access experience. Zoom already has an SSO option to make it easy for faculty and staff to securely access their Zoom account. SSO allows users to log in one time, under one set of credentials, to get access to all the applications, data, and services they need.
Does your school or district have a common computer sign-in system to access resources, also known as Single Sign-On (SSO) or an identity provider (IDP)? Zoom just released an external authentication feature that can benefit schools using Zoom for remote and hybrid classrooms this fall.
