Meetings can also be scheduled directly through the Zoom web portal or desktop application. When scheduling a meeting, instructors can:

• Set the meeting date and time.
• Create recurring meetings for regularly scheduled classes.
• Enable a waiting room or passcode for added security.
• Allow participants to join before the host.
• Record meetings to the cloud or locally.
• Configure participant permissions, such as screen sharing and chat.

Recurring meetings are especially useful for courses that meet on a consistent schedule, allowing students to use the same meeting link throughout the semester.

Quinnipiac’s Zoom integration allows instructors to schedule and manage meetings directly within their Canvas courses. To schedule a meeting:

1. Open your Canvas course.
2. Select Zoom from the Course Navigation menu.
3. Click Schedule a New Meeting.
4. Enter the meeting topic, date, time, and duration.
5. Select Recurring Meeting if your course meets on a regular schedule.
6. Configure meeting settings, such as:
• Waiting Room
• Passcode
• Join Before Host
• Automatic Recording
7. Click Save.

Once the meeting is created, it will appear on the course's Zoom page, where students can join scheduled meetings and access cloud recordings (if enabled).

• Create a recurring meeting for courses that meet on a regular schedule.
• Schedule meetings before the semester begins whenever possible.
• Clearly communicate attendance and participation expectations.
• Enable appropriate security settings, such as a waiting room or passcode.
• Test your microphone, camera, and screen-sharing settings before class begins.

Using the Zoom integration in Canvas provides students with a single, centralized location to access class meetings and recordings. Scheduling meetings in advance and using recurring meeting links can help create a more organized and consistent learning experience for both instructors and students.
