Customizing branding for your vanity URL


Once you have an approved vanity URL, you can customize it with your organization's branding. Review our branding guidelines before customizing your page with the Zoom logo or other marketing materials.

Any changes made to branding will only apply when accessing the Zoom web portal from your vanity URL (for example, yourorganization.zoom.us). Branding will not apply when accessing the web portal from zoom.us.

Button background color

Attribute name: background-color (look for the background-color attribute that is nested under .button)

To change the background color of the three buttons (Join, Host, and Sign In), you need to specify colors using color hex values, for example, #FFFFFF is white. Use Colorpicker for identifying and selecting colors by hex value.

.button {
 width: 80px;
 background-color: #000000; /*customize button color */
 border-color: #2D8CFF;
 padding: 12px 20px;
 display: inline-block;
 text-align: center;
 margin: 10px 0;
 transition: .3s ease;
}

Button background hover color

Attribute name: background-color (nested under .button.hover)

To change the button color when you hover your mouse pointer over it, specify colors using color hex values, for example, #FFFFFF is white. Use Colorpicker for identifying and selecting colors by hex value.

Sample:

.button:hover {
  background-color: #eb9834; /*customize button color */
 }

Button text color

Attribute: color (nested under .btn-text)

Change the color of the text inside the button. If you used a darker color as your button background, set the attribute to white. If you have a lighter background color, set the attribute to black.  You can also specify a custom hex value. Use Colorpicker for identifying and selecting colors by hex value.

Sample:

.btn-text {
 color: #008BFF; /*customize button font color */
 font-size: 17px;
}

Logo

Change the logo that appears above the three buttons. To find the URL of the logo, go to the Images tab and copy the link in the Path column.

Note: By default, the logo is resized to 140px by 31.5px. This will most likely distort your custom logo. To remove this, remove class="zoom-logo" after the image URL in the landing page HTML.

Sample:

<div class="row">
  <img src="https://zoom.us/account/branding/p/1c7dfaf5-2646-4224-92e0-5abef82036b1.png" alt="Zoom Logo"> <!--customize company logo-->
