Overview

To set up your Bloomberg issued laptop please read these instructions

Zoom

Zoom is the “preferred” video conferencing platform used at Bloomberg. You can install Zoom from the Web. Upon enrolling the Bloomberg Mac laptop and logging into it, you will be able to install Zoom from the application called “Self Service”.

Be advised that you will not be able to log into the Zoom application with your Bloomberg Account until your start date. We recommend you use the link provided by Human Resources for the full time employee orientation. Thereafter, you can follow the directions below to log in with your Bloomberg account.

During the week you start at Bloomberg, you will be able to log into your work Zoom account. Below is more information and instructions.

• If you have created a personal Zoom account via your Bloomberg.net email address, you MUST change and verify a personal email address on that account prior to following the activating/provisioning process via BSSO. The process will NOT work if you have an existing Zoom account under your BLOOMBERG.NET email address.

• You must log into the Zoom application prior to scheduling any meetings in APPT<GO>, your Zoom account is created during the initial login process.
• ALL changes to a Zoom meeting should be done using APPT<GO>, do not use the Zoom application. Any changes made to meetings within Zoom will not be reflected in APPT<GO>.

Upon logging into Zoom for the first time with your Bloomberg credentials, you are now authenticated and ready to schedule Zoom meetings via APPT.
