Use Zoom inside of Canvas to schedule course-specific meetings

If you have a Canvas course, scheduling ZOOM recurring meetings is the safest method to connect with your students. It鈥檚 recommended that students enter your ZOOM meeting via Canvas -> ZOOM because our Single-Sign-On (SSO) will bring in the student鈥檚 first and last name based on their 快活app account.

  • When scheduling your recurring meetings, turn off participant video.
  • Reserved screen sharing for only the host or co-host. If you want students to share their screens, during the meeting you can grant them permission using the Share Screen Advanced settings.
  • Avoid sharing your ZOOM meeting link on public websites or social media.

Meetings scheduled via the Zoom tool in Canvas will show up automatically for students.
