How to Sign Into Zoom Workspace With a Google Account in Windows 11 - August 2025

1. In Windows desktop, click on the Start button

2. After the start menu appears, look for the Zoom Workplace icon. If it’s not present, just type Zoom and the Start menu should find it

3. Wait for Zoom Workplace to load

4. In Zoom Workplace, click on the Sign-in button in the middle of the window 

5. On the next stage, Zoom will show you available sign in methods. Amongst these methods there is a Google method.

6. Click the Google sign-in method icon (The Google “G” icon) and wait for Zoom to open a Google “sign in with Google” page.

7. If your default browser is Chrome and is already signed into your Gmail account, you would see the following window:
a. If you use a different browser or a browser that was not signed into with your Google account, then fill in your Gmail address the phone number associated with it and click Continue

8. As you can see, in the previous screenshot, the signed in Gmail account was automatically detected and offered as an account to use to sign in with into Zoom Workplace.
9. Click once on that Gmail account and wait for the Google Account permission page to appear
10. In the Google account permission page, you will be notified about which information will be shared by Google with Zoom Workplace
11. In our case in this article, we can clearly see that Google wants to allow Zoom to access:
     a. Name and profile picture
     b. Email address
12. Click on the Continue button to proceed

13. Upon first ever sign-in, Zoom would ask for your age. Fill in your age and click the Continue button

14. In the next window, to finish the sign in process, click on the Create Account button

15. After clicking the Create Account button you will be asked by your browser to open Zoom Meetings
16. Before clicking on Open Zoom Meetings, mark the “Always allow us05web.zoom.us to open links of this type in the associated app” and ONLY THEN click the Open Zoom Meetings button.

17. Wait for Zoom Workplace to start again

18. 

18. If the Zoom webpage is still present, click the Launch Zoom button in the middle of the page and wait for Zoom Workplace to start.

19. After Zoom Workplace starts, notice your Gmail account initials on the top right corner of the Zoom window. That means your Google account was successfully used to sign into Zoom Workplace!

20. In some cases, Windows Security will ask you if “Do you want to allow public and private networks to access this app?”. This is completely normal. In this case, Windows Security asks us this question because it is the local cyber security solution installed and activated on this Windows 11 platform. If a different cyber security solution was installed, then it would have been very highly unlikely Windows Security would have asked this question but rather the 3rd party cyber security solution would have.

21. Click the Allow button in order to allow Zoom Workplace to communicate with the outside world.
22. Zoom is now signed into and ready to be used
