📌 Zoom: Setting Up a Meeting in Canvas
👥 Audience
🖥️ Applies To
The article provides faculty with instructions to schedule meetings with the Zoom application through Canvas. Installing the Zoom application is a requirement. Canvas works as a scheduler and repository for Zoom meetings, but DOES NOT run within Canvas. You still need to log into the Zoom application with your Salve credentials. When you launch a scheduled meeting through Zoom, the option to install the application will present itself. However, here is a link if you want to install the application yourself: https://zoom.us/download
NAVIGATIONAL LINK
- By default, the Zoom link should appear in the left-hand menu.
SETTINGS
If the Zoom link does not appear in the navigational menu, scroll down the menu to the very bottom of the list to select the SETTINGS link.
NAVIGATION
Then, select the NAVIGATION tab.
ZOOM LINK
This is where you edit the navigational menu for the COURSE.
There are two sections to this menu. The items on the upper part are links which are visible to students, and the items on the bottom list are links which are hidden from students.
If the Zoom link does not immediately appear in the course menu, then the Zoom link is most likely in the lower list and needs to dragged up to the upper list. The Zoom link can be dragged to the upper list by clicking and holding the "handle" that is represented with 8 dots. Click and drag it any where you like into the upper section.
DON'T FORGET "SAVE"
For this action, you have to select the SAVE button on the bottom of the page.
SCHEDULE A MEETING
- When the Zoom link is selected, you will be able to SCHEDULE A NEW MEETING and choose other settings that are appropriate for your course. Detailed instructions for various options are available via the "arrow" link on the upper right-hand corner of the page.
Remember, you still have to install the ZOOM WORKPLACE application to run a Zoom meeting. If you don't have the application installed, the process will provide the option to install.
