Never used Zoom before? Not familiar with its features at all? Or maybe you’ve participated in video conferences without registration and now want to sign up? Howly is committed to making things easier. So, we’ve created an insightful guide covering the simplest methods to make a Zoom account online or via the app using any possible device. Let’s deal with it!
How to set up a Zoom account online via the website
There’s nothing easier than Zoom account creation via the website. You can use any device with an internet connection – a PC, an Android-based phone, or an Apple product. While you’re registering through the browser, it may be useful to download the mobile app so you can access your Zoom profile and use service features whenever you want on your smartphone. Now, get straight to the point and learn how to get a Zoom account using the website.
Head to the Zoom website and hit the Sign Up Free button.
Specify your age and tap Continue. This is a mandatory step to prove you’re over 16 (younger users can create a Zoom account only for school).
Zoom will present you with a number of options to make an account, including via email, SSO, Google, Apple, and Facebook. While we’ll consider the registration via email, all the subsequent ways turn out to be much simpler. So, enter your address and move on.
Now, you’re prompted to verify your identity by entering a 6-digit verification code. Go to your inbox and find an email from Zoom. Keep in mind that you have only 10 minutes to enter the code and thus confirm your email address.
Fill in the fields with your name and password (make sure it has at least 8 characters, 1 number, and 1 uppercase letter). Check the box if you’re setting up a Zoom account on behalf of an organization or school, and tap Continue.
The process is done! You’ll see a welcoming message from Zoom inviting you to get started – just hit the button and explore the available service features first-hand.
How to create Zoom account via the phone app
Creating a Zoom account in the app is just as hassle-free as on the web. It’s an advantageous option for those willing to use the platform for work-related calls or keep in touch with friends anytime and anywhere. What’s more, you can create an account via the app and then use your credentials to access Zoom on your PC or Mac.
Download and install the Zoom app on your phone and launch it.
Hit Sign Up and enter the year of your birth.
Submit your email.
Head to your inbox and look for the code to confirm your email. Get back to the app and enter these 6 digits into the field.
Come up with a password and enter your name.
Tap Continue, and your account is ready for use!
F.A.Q.
How to invite my friends to join a meeting via Zoom?
Get into the Meetings tab, find your scheduled meeting, and hit Copy invitation (or Invite if you’re in the app). Once you’ve done this, open a messaging app or email and send the link to a person you’d like to join the meeting.
How to schedule my first meeting after I sign up for Zoom?
Head to Meetings and pick Schedule New Meeting. Set the topic, date, and duration, choose the time zone and template, set the passcode, and hit Save. That’s all, invite your friends or colleagues and enjoy communication.
What should I do to upgrade my Zoom account?
Find Account Management on the left-side panel and tap Billing. There will be a link saying Upgrade to get more features (next to your account type) – tap it. Explore the perks you’ll get and hit the Upgrade Account button.
Conclusion
Zoom is a user-friendly and convenient online resource for both work and personal use. Registration is rather intuitive, and it’ll take you just a couple of minutes to set up a Zoom account with your phone or PC. This guide features everything you need to get started, so the process should be smooth. Otherwise, you can troubleshoot any problems by contacting Howly.

“Service is not available for this user” – that’s what google says while I’m trying to sign up. Can I fix this?

I couldn’t use zoom because I accidentally selected that I’m signing up on behalf of a school. Howly experts showed me a quick way out. Cool guys!

Signing up via Apple isn’t working for me. I had to make my account manually via email. The process is longer but smooth.

Is it worth buying a pro account?

A thing with a 40-minute limit… I can just end the meeting and start a new one. It will work, won't it?

My company set up as many as three Zoom premium accounts, one for each of our main offices. But I'm realizing that we’ve been making Zoom much more complicated than it has to be.

I have been using Zoom without registration for a couple of months. Now I created an account since we need it for work. In general, Zoom is convenient even for unregistered users.

Webex offers 50 minute meetings for free, and its yearly sub is a bit cheaper than Zoom. I’m considering switching…

I appreciate that it’s free to create and use a Zoom account, many other services are paid.
