Add Zoom meetings to your calendar

When you receive an email from Zoom about a meeting, workshop or event, save the calendar file to add the session to your electronic calendar. You can set reminders for yourself and even join the meeting from a link in your calendar. If you are new to using electronic calendars, please view our videos on how to save them and use them.

When it is time to join the Zoom call, you can also click on the blue button in the email.  If Zoom requires you to log in, be sure to use your nsid@usask.ca (abc123@usask.ca).
