Test your SSO login experience

There are two easy ways to test your SSO setup:

Option 1: Use the Test SSO button

If you're still on the Set up SSO page, scroll to the Test your SSO connection section and click Test SSO.

This lets you quickly check if everything’s working without logging out.

Option 2: Log in using SSO

1. If you are currently logged in to your Zoom account, click your user icon in the top-right corner and select sign out.
2. On the login page, click Sign in with SSO.
3. Enter your company domain and click continue.

If you’re taken to your team’s page after logging in, you successfully set up SSO! If you get an error, check our Troubleshooting SSO errors article for help.

Quick tip: Using both methods can give you extra peace of mind that everything’s set up right.
