New users
In order to access the MAGIC website as a student or staff member you need to obtain a MAGIC user account
so that you can log in to this website.
This account gives access to the MAGIC website. It will have a username that is your institutional email
address, e.g. j.bloggs@exeter.ac.uk
Your MAGIC node rep or postgraduate administrator may have done this already: you can try and log in to
the website using your institutional email as username - using the forgot your
password
feature to request a new password. If this does not let you, contact your MAGIC node rep
for advice.
If you get an error about an invalid token when resetting your password, try pasting in the link at the
bottom of the email, or request another password, ensuring that you reset your password within the
hour.
If you are an external guest or subscriber you will get this information sent to you
separately.
Zoom
To join a live lecture you will need to have set up a @zoom.maths-magic.ac.uk Zoom account
through the MAGIC-Maths website. You must do this even if you already have a Zoom account through your
university or a personal Zoom account.
This account will have a name such as cheese-table@zoom.maths-magic.ac.uk and you’ll be sent an email by
Zoom to complete activation of the Zoom account. A random name is given when this is created – please feel free
to change the name that appears in the zoom sessions to your own name.
- Go to: Manage my Zoom account
- Click on "Create my Zoom account" to create an account with Zoom.
- You'll be sent an email from Zoom with instructions on how to activate your
account.
You will only be able to access the live lectures when you are logged into Zoom using your
@zoom.maths-magic.ac.uk account, then log into the MAGIC website and join the lecture from the link on this
week
.
These accounts have limited functionality – you cannot host meetings.
