# Setup a New Zoom Account

If adding a new core team member or teacher, it's also important to set-up a professional BG zoom account for them.  Here are the instructions for doing that (from a Zoom admin account):

1. Login to the Zoom.us site
2. Under Admin select **User Management** and then click **Users**
3. Press the **+ Add Users** button
4. Type in their buddhistgeeks.org e-mail address, make sure the user type is set to Licensed and then click **Add**
5. Login to their GSuite account and **click the confirmation link** in the "Zoom account invitation" email.
6. In the new window that opens up click **"Sign Up with a Password"**
7. Enter their Name, BG Email address, and a complex temporary password and click "**Sign Up**"
8. Now click the "**Go to my Account**" button
9. If the new team member isn't based in US Eastern Time, update their Time Zone under the **Date & Time** section on the main account page.
10. Now click **Settings** on the sidebar.
11. Under **Meeting Settings** make sure the following changes are made to their default settings (from top to bottom):

    1. Turn Off **Require a password when scheduling new meetings**
    2. Turn Off **Require a password for instant meetings**
    3. Click the Edit icon next to **Customize the title, logo, and description** and upload the Buddhist Geeks Classic Head Logo.
    4. Turn On **Host Video**
    5. Turn On **Participants Video**
    6. Turn Off **Feedback to Zoom** (this will also turn off End of Meeting Feedback)
    7. Under **Screen sharing** click "Host Only" under Who can share and hit **Save**
    8. Turn Off **Annotation** 
    9. Turn Off **Remote Control**
    10. Turn On **Allow removed participants to rejoin**
    11. Under **Breakout room** click "Allow host to assign participants to breakout rooms when scheduling" and hit **Save**
    12. Turn On **Group HD Video**

    12\. Now, while being logged into the "<facilitator@buddhistgeeks.org>" account in zoom, go to the bottom of the meeting settings section and Assign scheduling privilege to the new team member.  This will enable them to use the breakout room function in any BG Sangha event.
