You will only need to follow the instructions below one time to activate your account.
NOTE: Users have reported issues activating their account using Google Chrome. If you encounter an "unable to sign up with your email address" error, use a different browser to create your account. Once your account is successfully activated, you can use Chrome to access the Zoom tile.
