Canvas Zoom Integration

1. Click on Zoom and click on Schedule a New Meeting.

1. On the following screen, be sure to select the appropriate date of the meeting. Check the Recurring meeting checkbox. Adjust the recurring meeting settings as needed.
2. Be sure video and audio is on for both you, the host, and the participants who will join this meeting. We recommend checking the Enable join before host checkbox. This is so in case your participants enter the meeting early, they can still interact with one another in the meeting room before you arrive. Furthermore, we also recommend checking the Mute participants upon entry checkbox. This is to ensure your participants can control when they enable their mic feed in the meeting room. This further ensures that your meeting isn’t accidentally disrupted when someone new enters the room in the middle of a meeting. 
3. Once you have selected the appropriate settings, click on the Save button.

5. You can now copy your meeting link into your course so that students can access the room.

1. Click on the "Zoom" menu item (in your Canvas course left navigation) to launch the Zoom interface inside of your Canvas course.

2. From within the Zoom interface, click on "Schedule a New Meeting" and enter the meeting details, date, time, and duration of your class session.

3. Select your Zoom meeting settings including:

• Enable join before host.
• Mute participants upon entry.
• If you will be recording your class meeting, we recommend that you set the recording to be stored "in the cloud".
  

4. When finished, scroll to the bottom of the Zoom interface and click "Save".
Your meeting should show up in the Canvas course calendar.

There are two ways we recommend posting your recurring Zoom meeting to your Canvas course. One is through the Pages feature in Canvas, and one is through the Calendar feature in Canvas.
