Alliant Zoom Information


Account Creation - Web Interface

Alliant offers two subscription options for students, faculty and staff.  End users can have either a Standard or HIPAA-compliant Zoom subscription. They cannot have both.

Most users should select the standard Zoom option.  Users with clinical requirements are more likely to need a HIPAA-compliant account. Check with your individual programs for further direction regarding the type of account your might need.

Creation of a NEW Alliant Zoom account is self service. Logging in for the first time with your Alliant email address will automatically create your account in Zoom.  Standard Zoom (https://alliant.zoom.us)   HIPAA-Zoom (https://allianthipaa.zoom.us)
  • Select type of account:
    • Standard Zoom (https://alliant.zoom.us)   
    • HIPAA-Zoom (https://allianthipaa.zoom.us)
  • Click on Sign In
  • Log in using your Alliant email credentials

Note:
An Alliant Zoom meeting can host up to 300 participants with a duration up to 30 hours. If your meeting is only allowing 100 participants and/or a 40 minute duration, you are logged into a free Zoom instance rather than Alliant's Zoom instance via the instructions above.

Signing in to the App

Once your account has been created, you can log in to the App using the SSO option. When prompted for the company name, use either alliant or allianthipaa.

Converting an existing standard to HIPAA Zoom account

If you have previously created a standard Zoom account with Alliant and need to convert it to a HIPAA zoom account, you will need to fill out this form: https://forms.office.com/r/GvhDcz13H2.

You MUST access this form using the Alliant email associated with your Zoom account! 

The conversion process takes a little over an hour to complete once submitted.  You will receive an email from Zoom requesting approval for the move.

Important Security Information:
​​

Please be aware of the following security measures when creating and conducting your meetings.
  • Avoid using your Personal Meeting ID (PMI) to host meetings. Every Zoom user is assigned a Personal Meeting ID that appears on your user profile. Anyone who knows or can discover your PMI can jump into meetings that you host with this ID.
  • Keep your Meeting ID private. Every Zoom meeting has a 9-digit Meeting ID. If you share the Meeting ID on Twitter, Facebook, a web page, or other public media anyone will be able to attend your meeting.
  • Password protect your meetings. Zoom meetings created using your Aliant Zoom account will be password protected by default. Do not de-select this option and be sure to share the password privately with those you invite.
  • Use Zoom's Waiting Room feature. Waiting Rooms are enabled by default on our Zoom account. Meeting hosts must authorize attendees so that they can join a meeting. Guests in the Waiting Room will be marked as guests. Only allow people into the meeting that you invited.
  • Restrict Screen Sharing. The host has the ability to restrict screen sharing during the meeting. This is a good idea that prevents people in the meeting from accidentally sharing their screen. The host can enable screen sharing as needed for particular participants.
  • Lock the Meeting. Once all of your meeting attendees have arrived, you can lock the meeting to prevent anyone else from attending.
  • Further information regarding in-meeting security options is available at: Zoom – Security Options

  • Participants using a single monitor see the most recently shared screen. Participants can select View Options to change the screen they are viewing.
  • Participants using the Zoom mobile app see the most recently shared screen. They cannot change the screen they are viewing.

As the host, you can choose to switch to the option to One participant can share at a time for any portion of the meeting. See the instructions on how to share a screen when only one participant can share at a time.

Limitations

Sharing multiple screens simultaneously has the following limitations:
​
  • When you enable the option to share multiple screens simultaneously, the options Share computer audio and Optimize for full-screen video clip are not available.
  • Participants in Zoom Rooms or using the mobile app cannot share when anyone else is sharing
