Your Zoom account will be inaccessible if it is disabled, deactivated, or locked. These cases can be triggered by not following Zoom's Terms of Service or Acceptable Use Guidelines, changes made to your account by your admins, or several attempts to sign in to your account with incorrect credentials. Recovering your account is still possible by following this guide.
