Schedule a Zoom Meeting in Your Canvas Course

For Faculty: How to schedule a Zoom Meeting in your Canvas course.

Getting Started

1. Go to your Canvas course
2. Click Zoom from your course navigation
   • Add Zoom to Your Canvas Course navigation if it is not part of your course navigation
3. In Canvas, click Schedule a New Meeting
   • 

Enter your meeting settings

• Topic: the title of your meeting
• When: date and time of the meeting
• Duration: total amount of time the meeting will run for (you can enter a meeting early)
• Recurring meeting: meetings that will be used more than once in the course (e.g., weekly discussion meetings)
• Video Host/Participant: select whether you'd like your/your participants' video to be automatically turned on or off
  • recommend setting this to off so as not to surprise participants entering the meeting

Meeting Options

We recommend:

• Mute participants upon entry
• If you'd like recordings of the meeting, select "Record the meeting automatically" and save the recording in the cloud
• Click Save. You will now see the meeting appear under 'Upcoming Meetings'
• Alternative Hosts: enter the email address of your teaching partner or TA if you'd like them to be able to start the meeting without you
