Authorizing Zoom in Canvas

Zoom provides an integration with Canvas that makes it very easy to set up class sessions, whether they be lectures, discussion sections, or any other meeting. These sessions are then automatically placed on participants' calendars within Canvas.

To begin using Zoom through Canvas, you'll first have to authorize it. This will only need to be done the first time you use Zoom.

To authorize Zoom to be used in Canvas:

1. Open any one of your courses in Canvas
2. From the sidebar, select "Zoom"
3. When prompted, click "Authorize"
   

4. Once authorized, you will see the following Zoom integration page that lists all your Zoom Meetings

   Unless the "Show my course meetings only" checkbox is checked, this view will list all of your Zoom meetings, not just the meetings for this course.
