Summary
This article helps you schedule Zoom meetings within a Canvas course. It guides you through accessing the Zoom feature, creating new meetings, and setting them as recurring.
Body
Once Zoom is enabled in a Canvas course, you can access Zoom from Course Navigation.
- Log in to Middlebury Canvas, then navigate to the course that the cloud recording is associated with.
- In the course level navigation, click the Zoom link.
- Click the Schedule a New Meeting button. To learn more about scheduling meetings, visit the Scheduling Meetings guide in the Zoom Help Center.
- To schedule a recurring meeting, click the Recurring Meeting check box. You can set how often the meeting recurs, the number of meeting occurrences, and the date for the final occurrence. An alternative approach is to set the frequency of the recurring event to no fixed time. This will create one persistent meeting link that can be re-used for each class session.
- If the meeting will occur regularly, tick the Recurring Meeting check box under the time zone field. Select the recurrence period (daily, weekly, monthly, no fixed time) and how often the meeting will repeat. If the meeting will be weekly, you can choose multiple days to repeat it.
- Set the end date. Note: When scheduling a recurring meeting, each occurrence is created as an independent event. To modify all recurring meetings, you must edit each meeting individually
- Click Save.
Notes:
Zoom meetings that you schedule within Canvas are also accessible from your Zoom desktop app or on your Zoom web account. However, the same is not true in reverse. Meetings that you schedule from your desktop app or on the Zoom web account cannot be added or transferred to your Canvas Zoom.
You cannot pre-assign breakout rooms or enable language interpretation for a session from Zoom within Canvas. However, once you have scheduled your class Zoom meetings in Canvas, you can navigate to
Middlebury Zoom log in page and edit your meeting settings from there to
pre-assign participants to any breakout rooms. Changes made via your Zoom web account will be reflected in your Canvas Zoom, as long as you originated those meetings in Canvas to begin with.
