Differences in Free Zoom vs Pro Account

If you need a Pro Account:
If you determine that you do need a Pro account, before requesting a Zoom account, please be mindful of the following:
- Please make sure you spell your email address correctly! Zoom does not know if the email address is spelled incorrectly, and your invite will never reach you if it is not spelled correctly.
- The email address you submit must be a Cru address. Please use your address ending in @cru.org, @bridgesinternation.com, @athletesinaction.org, etc.
- Please check with your teammates to make sure that only one of you requests a Zoom account.
