ITS has added our own SMCCCD Zoom account for all employees to better serve our students, faculty, and staff. The following instructions detail each step of the migration process to assist you in migrating your account from CCConfer to SMCCCD Zoom.

    1. If you have already signed up for a Zoom account with CCConfer, you will need to sign out of your account prior to migrating to the SMCCCD account. You can view if you are signed in via CCConfer under the “Personal Meeting ID” section, highlighted in a red rounded rectangle in the following screenshot:

    2. Sign out of the CCConfer account using the “Sign Out” button in the upper right hand corner of your profile screen.
