Schedule and add Zoom meetings

Zoom is fully integrated into Canvas, and we recommend that you schedule class meetings through the Zoom link in Canvas. Simply click on the Zoom link in the course navigation bar, and click Schedule a New Meeting.

Individual members of the teaching team can use the Zoom link to schedule their own class meetings.  Follow the tips below to schedule recurring meetings or import Zoom meetings.

Step-by-step

1. Locate Zoom in the left course navigation
2. Click Schedule a New Meeting in the top right corner
3. Fill out the open fields and select your settings
4. Click Save 

To start a scheduled meeting, select Zoom from the left course navigation, then select Start next to the desired meeting. Students can join the meeting by selecting Zoom too, though they will see Join instead. 

When you schedule recurring meetings in your Canvas course, the page will get populated with separate links for each meeting session. To avoid such multiple links, you may Schedule the meeting with "No fixed time". Scheduling a meeting in this way will generate one link that you can use for the entire semester.

Import an Existing Meeting

If you have already scheduled your Zoom meetings outside of Canvas, you can import them to your Canvas course.

1. Go to the "3 dots" to the right top corner and select Import meeting
2. Enter the existing Meeting ID for the meeting that you would like to import into your Canvas course. 

Publish Recordings

You may make the cloud recordings available to your students by publishing the recordings.

Students can view the published video recordings via the "Cloud Recordings" tab in the Zoom link. The video recordings will not be visible to students until you publish.
