Can I connect my paid Zoom account, set up with a different email address, to my ordinary free Zoom?

    HI ​@Hannah Walker -

    Yes — you can connect or link your paid Zoom account and your free Zoom account, but only in limited ways depending on what you want to achieve.

    Key Options

    1️⃣ Sign‑in and Account Ownership
    Each Zoom account is tied to a unique email address. You cannot merge two separate Zoom accounts (for example, one paid and one free) into a single login. However, you can:

    • Invite the free‑account email to join the paid account’s organization.
    • Once accepted, that user (the free account) becomes part of the paid account and inherits its license features.
    • The admin of the paid account controls this through User Management → Users → Add Users in the Zoom web portal.

    2️⃣ Using the Same Email Domain
    If both accounts use the same company domain (e.g., @yourcompany.com), the admin of the paid account can claim the domain. When claimed, Zoom prompts users with that domain to join the organization. This effectively connects the free users to the paid account under one umbrella.

    3️⃣ Switching Between Accounts
    If you simply want to access both accounts separately (for example, one for work and one personal), you can:

    • Stay signed in to one account in the Zoom desktop or mobile app.
    • Use the Switch Account option or sign out and sign in with the other email when needed.
    • Alternatively, use different browsers or browser profiles to stay logged in to both simultaneously.

    4️⃣ Transferring a License
    If you want your paid license to apply to your free account instead, you can remove the license from the current user in the paid account and reassign it to the other email address. This must be done by the account owner or admin.

    ⚙️ Summary

    You cannot directly “merge” two Zoom accounts, but you can invitetransfer, or switch between them depending on your goal. The simplest way to connect them is to add the free account as a user under the paid account’s organization so it benefits from the paid features.

    Hope this helps!
