Schedule a Zoom Meeting in Canvas

Click the Zoom link in your course navigation menu. If you do not see Zoom in this menu, follow the instructions in this guide to enable it: Faculty: Add Zoom to your Course Navigation
Click the Schedule a New Meeting button on the top-right.
Fill out the Meeting information:
1. Topic: the title of your meeting
2. When: date and time of the meeting
3. Duration: total amount of time the meeting will run for
4. (Optional) If this meeting occurs at the same time on a regular basis, you can check the Recurring meeting option to create a series of meetings with the same information
5. Passcode: You can use the auto-generated passcode or enter your own
6. Waiting Room: when this option is checked, your students will not be let in the virtual meeting until the host let them in, you will need to manually permit each students into the class meeting.
7. Video Host/Participant: select whether you'd like your/your participants' video to be automatically turned on or off when joining the meeting. Note: Your students can choose to turn them on and off during the meeting.
8. Audio: it is better to select Both as options.
9. Mute participants upon entry: we recommend checking this option because it will prevent background noise each time when students join the session.
10. Record the meeting automatically: you have the option to record the meeting automatically, but we DO NOT recommend you check this option because there will be an option to record when you are actually in the virtual class. We have found that recording that started and ended manually by professor are better because it reduces any side conversations before the class formally begins.
11. Alternative Hosts: if you have a guest speaker or someone who serves the helper role during the meeting, you can add them as alternative host by entering their email address.
12. Click the Save button when you finished.
After you saved the Zoom meeting, the meeting title will display under the Upcoming Meetings tab. From this page, you can edit the meeting, start and delete the meeting. Your students will see the same list, but with a "Join" button instead.

After you've scheduled your Zoom meeting, you may also want to post an announcement to notify your students of the join information for the meeting and/or direct them to the Zoom tab in the Canvas course.
