These instructions are for Franklin County staff with:
a shared email account ending in @franklincountyohio.gov
any email address that does not end in @franklincountyohio.gov
an assigned (paid) Zoom license
With the step-by-step instructions below, you can add your Zoom account to your Windows PC and host web- and phone-based meetings -- including screen sharing and video conferencing -- with up to 300 attendees.
Zoom Prerequisites
Attending Zoom meetings is free. But to host Zoom meetings you must have a licensed account. In fact, here are all the prerequisites for Zoom hosts:
FCDC has assigned you a Zoom account license
You have the Zoom client software installed on your PC
To host videoconferences or other multimedia meetings with the highest quality, you may need additional hardware like a headset, webcam, speakers, etc.
Instructions
[1] If you don't already have it, download and install the Zoom client software, available here: zoom.us/download
On the Download Center page, click Download for IT Admin
Click Download MSI
Double-click the installer file you downloaded and complete the installation
If you cannot install the software (installation requires PC admin rights), or have other issues, contact the FCDC Help Desk for assistance
[2] Double-click the Zoom icon on your Windows desktop.
When Zoom starts, click the Sign In button
[3] Sign In to Zoom
Enter your email address
Enter your Zoom-specific password
Click the Keep me signed in checkbox (if you prefer)
Click the Sign In button
[4] You should now be logged in to the Zoom client and you’ll be ready to start and manage your meetings.
By default, Zoom is set to start whenever you login to Windows. You can control that behavior and many other settings by clicking the gear icon in the upper-right corner of the Zoom window.

Need better video or audio?
To host the best possible videoconferences, consider buying a higher-quality webcam system than what’s built into the average laptop. For most users and most meeting rooms we recommend checking out the wide variety of webcams, headsets, speakerphones, and conference room camera kits available from Logitech here: https://www.logitech.com/en-us/video-collaboration/products
