Move forward to Cause & Solution

  • Safari

Safari cannot open the page because the server cannot be found.

Cause

"Company domain", which you enter after clicking the "SSO" or "Sign in with SSO" button on the Zoom sign-in screen, is incorrect.

In rare cases, the "company domain" is incorrectly set to end in .zoomgov.com or .us02web.zoom.us instead of .zoom.us .

Solution

Enter “u-tokyo-ac-jp” as your “company domain”.
*Note that the characters before and after “ac” are hyphens, not periods.

If the "Company Domain" ends with .zoomgov.com , reselect .zoom.us from the pull-down menu on the right side of the field.
If it ends with .us02web.zoom.us , etc., try quitting the application and then launching it again.

Unable to Access the "UTokyo Zoom" Page

Error

The "UTokyo Zoom" page does not appear even though you access the UTokyo Zoom webpage https://u-tokyo-ac-jp.zoom.us/ following the steps in "Signing in from the UTokyo Account Zoom Webpage" of the "Sign-in Methods for Zoom".

Cause

This issue occurs when you are already signed in to Zoom with another account.
This may sometimes happen even though you are signed out of your other Zoom account.

Solution

To sign out, go to the Zoom Web portal, click your profile picture (either your icon or the default person image) in the top-right corner, and click “Sign Out”. Then try accessing “UTokyo Zoom” again.

If this doesn’t solve the problem, try accessing the site in incognito mode.

Below is how to use incognito mode in major browsers:

Alternatively, you can sign in to your account from https://zoom.us/signin following the instructions of "How to Sign In from the App" of "How to Sign In to Zoom".

Error due to Microsoft Account Conflict

Error Message

Sorry, but we’re having trouble with signing you in.
AADSTS50020: User account ‘xxx@example.com’ from identity provider ‘live.com’ does not exist in tenant ‘The University of Tokyo’ and cannot access the application ‘u-tokyo-ac-jp.zoom.us'(Zoom) in that tenant. The account needs to be added as an external user in the tenant first. Sign out and sign in again with a different Azure Active Directory user account.

Cause

When signing in to the UTokyo Zoom account, authentication is performed using Microsoft’s service. Therefore, if you are signed in to a Microsoft account other than UTokyo’s Microsoft account ([10-digit Common ID]@utac.u-tokyo.ac.jp), this error may occur.

Solution

  1. Access https://www.office.com/ and from the icon in the upper right corner, check which Microsoft account you are currently signed in to.
  2. If you sign in to a Microsoft account other than UTokyo’s Microsoft account ([10-digit Common ID]@utac.u-tokyo.ac.jp), sign out from it.
  3. Try again Sign-in Methods for Zoom.

If you want to continue to use UTokyo’s Microsoft account together with other accounts, it is effective to use an incognito window or switch browser profiles to avoid the same error. For more detailed instructions, please refer to "Chromeで複数のMicrosoftアカウントを使い分ける (Japanese only)".

Error due to Name Character Type

Error Message

Sign in with SSO
Oops, something went wrong

Something went wrong while you tried signing in with SSO

Cause

Some users used to get this sign-in error because the Zoom system cannot deal with their name characters such as "𠮷", "𣘺", "𡈽" etc, but this has been resolved now.

Solution

This problem has now supposedly been resolved. If you should get this error, the administrator will check it. Please contact the Technical Support Desk via email form.
