Shared Zoom Accounts


 

Hi fellow Zoomers,

Does anyone know of a way to share use of a Zoom account which doesn't breach Zooms terms and conditions of use?? I understand that they don't allow a single premium (i.e. paid for) account to be shared.

Thanks
John

Well one way is:
to define a Zoom session, recurring meeting, no fixed time, with a link
and pass on the link to whomever needs it.

This makes people can use the Zoom meeting as defined. Only does not work in keeping unwanted people out (then you need to change the password).

Not totally what you want, I guess, but it is a way to make more use of one account without handing off username/passwords. Another/different option would be to use a proxy server, so each user can reach the Zoom account computer through the proxy. Or through a virtual desktop/KVM/Teamviewer/VNC/Aeroadmin method reach the one computer with the account.

with kind regards

Thanks Henhenk. I'm not sure that will work for us though. I was hoping for a solution where the Region could buy a single subscription and then different meeting hosts, all unconnected, would be able to benefit.?

I understand.

My earlier idea was that Mensa Int. would buy the overall license with 10-50 accounts. Mensa NL now has a 10-account license, while perhaps max 3 concurrent sessions is the absolute maximum. So better to have a central buy and let all Mensas request a number of accounts. With the 10+ it is possible to buy the license for max 300 participants so for most Mensas it is more than enough. And smaller Mensas (or in areas with a lower national income) could benefit to get a license for less.

I shared my idea with different national Mensas (here in Europe) and with a few members in the international board. Hopefully one day we all could save money and at the same time facilitate smaller Mensas. A group of say 10 members could serve as session-creators and assign a host/co-host at the beginning (could be X hours before the actual start).

Just some thoughts on it

with kind regards
