FAQs

Your Zoom account has probably been locked for security reasons due to five failed login attempts. The block will be automatically lifted 30 minutes after the last login attempt.

For licensing and data protection reasons, it is not possible to create Zoom accounts for lecturers without their own Uni-ID.

Since everyone involved in teaching is authorised to have a Uni-ID and this enables access to the Zoom campus licence, we recommend applying for a separate Uni-ID for the respective person. New staff Uni-IDs can be applied for via the new application on our website.

The university holds central webinar licences for up to 500 participants and some webinar licences for up to 1000 participants. These licences are primarily intended for curricular courses that exceed the limit of 300 or 500 participants. Webinar licences can be applied for within the scope of availability for events that serve university teaching or research, have more than 300 participants, are anchored in the curriculum or are of particular importance for the external image of the university.

If you require a 500 licence, please contact zoom@uni-bonn.de with a brief justification and the name of the university ID to which the webinar is to be linked. Please ensure that you have previously registered once with Zoom using this Uni-ID so that it can be held as a webinar licence for the duration of the current semester. If you need a 1000 licence, please contact the deans of studies in your faculty.
