To create a single digital location where all of your class sessions can take place, you may want to create a recurring Zoom meeting within Canvas. These instructions will help you create a recurring Zoom class link, and will also provide instructions for recording the class sessions to Canvas Studio.
Authorize Zoom Integration
If you haven’t already done so, Authorize Zoom Integration within Canvas Studio. (If you are unsure if you've already authorized zoom integration, you can follow the same directions to confirm.)
Schedule a Recurring Meeting
- Click on the "Zoom" menu item (in your Canvas course left navigation) to launch the Zoom interface inside of your Canvas course.
- Click the Schedule a New Meeting button:
- Change the “Topic” of the meeting to reflect that this is a recurring Class Meeting (ex: GEOG 231 Class Zoom).
- Check the Recurring meeting box in the Time Zone area.
- Under Recurrence select “No Fixed Time”
- These are additional settings that are recommended, although you are welcome to experiment with the settings:
Adding the Meeting to your Course Design (optional)
- Copy the meeting Join URL by right clicking on the link and selecting “Copy Link Address”.
- You can choose to do any of the following:
- Paste the link to a Course Front Page
- Paste the link to a Course Module
- Paste the link to the Course Syllabus
- Students can also access the Zoom link using the Zoom menu item in the Canvas Course.
Note: Class recordings are automatically stored in Canvas Studio. See directions for Adding Zoom Recordings to your Class to learn how to add these recordings to various sections within your course for student viewing.
