READ THIS FIRST: You do NOT need to request that a Zoom Pro license be applied - Pro licenses are automatically applied upon proper login. Login with your Mines credentials at mines.zoom.us [*** NOT at zoom.us ***]. If you previously logged in at zoom.us, a secondary login was created that does not have a Pro license associated.
[19-March-2020] Mines now has a temporary Zoom site license. All Basic Access licenses have been upgraded to Licensed/Pro access. If you previously had a Basic license, you may need to log out of Zoom and back in for the Pro license to take effect.
Our temporary site license is currently active through October, 2020. This will be evaluated/renewed as needed.
