Zoom - Add Domain Based Authentication to Scheduled Meetings

OIT has enabled the option to only allow CU Boulder account holders to join meetings. When this authentication option is enabled, only users with an @colorado.edu account will be allowed to join. You can set this up for all future meetings, as well as add to individual existing meetings

Please note: If you plan on having users outside of the university join your meeting, you will not want to enable this form of authentication as they will not be able to join. Please ensure this setting is not selected when scheduling that type of meeting.
