Frequently Asked Questions

Nevada Open Meeting law may require standard security in settings in Zoom to be turned off. Using a unique meeting ID, creating waiting rooms, limiting participants ability to share screens, removing participants, and familiarizing yourself with Host Controls in Zoom is critical for meeting safety and security. For more information on options to secure your meeting, see our Zoom Meeting Security resource.

If you need to update the Zoom desktop app on a UNLV-owned and issued device, you will need to run the Make Me Admin application. For information on running Make Me Admin on Windows and macOS devices, please see Requesting Temporary Local Administrator Access.

If you are having trouble updating the Zoom app, uninstall the app in entirety, and reinstall. Older versions of the Zoom app will not update without being uninstalled first.

If you are faculty or staff, please login to Zoom using your ACE credentials.
