Do I need to have a zoom account to attend zoom calls?

To create a free Zoom account, go to Zoom.us in a web browser and click the "Sign Up, It's Free" button, then enter your date of birth, email, and click "Sign Up". Next, open the confirmation email from Zoom and click the "Activate Account" link to verify your account. You'll then be prompted to enter your name and create a password to complete the process. 

Step-by-step guide to creating a Zoom account
