Changing the Email address of your personal Zoom account
To change your personal Zoom account to the College Microsoft 365 account, you will be prompted to change your email address from the friendly email address to the Microsoft 365 email address. The prompt will appear when you sign in to an existing account in the Zoom web portal or Zoom client. You may also receive an email notification.
Example of email addresses:
Microsoft 365 account: jdoe_1234@ric.edu
Friendly email address: jdoe@ric.edu
Zoom account name: jdoe@ric.edu
Our recommendation for this situation AND if you have a FREE Zoom account is to select the option: Change Email Address. An alternative option is to Terminate/Delete the account.
If this situation applies to you but you have a PAID personal Zoom account, the recommendation is to join the account. (See the section “Joining ric.edu with your RIC friendly email address”)
When the prompt appears, click Change Email Address then click Continue.
Complete the required fields, then click Save.
A confirmation email will be sent to your new email address. Open the email and click Confirm Change.
