Scheduling a Zoom meeting for ALL students in a Canvas course

Note: If a meeting scheduled through Zoom in Canvas is recorded to the cloud, and the Panopto integration is enabled, that meeting recording will automatically be moved into your course's Panopto Course Folder and will be publicly available to all students in the course.

First, if Zoom is not already in your Canvas course navigation, you will need to add it.

1. Log in to your Canvas course.
2. On the navigation menu, select Settings.
3. Drag the Zoom item to the top panel, and select Save.
