The landing page for Zoom in Canvas displays information on upcoming meetings and previous meetings. To begin scheduling new meetings, click the “Schedule a New Meeting” button.

Enter the meeting information by filling out the following fields:
1. Topic: Add a title for the meeting.
2. When: Add date and time for when the meeting will take place.
3. Meeting Options: Make sure that both options for Record the meeting automatically and In the cloud are selected.
4. To finish, click the Save button.

NB.: If your meeting exceeds 10 or more participants or for classes with Q&A sessions, we recommend using the Chat function within Zoom, and using a moderator, e.g., a teaching assistant, or appoint a student, to help manage the questions. Students can pose questions via the chat and the moderator(s) can read them to you as appropriate. Similarly, if there are faculty driven questions towards students it may be a smoother experience (especially for larger sized classes) for you to ask the question on the video, have the student(s) answer via chat function.

Once you click the Save button, Zoom will display a screen confirming the details of your meeting. To start the meeting right away, simply click the Start this Meeting button.
Alternatively, you may navigate to the landing page for Zoom in Canvas to view your scheduled meeting(s).

Once your meeting is scheduled, students will receive a Canvas email notification. In addition, the meeting will appear on their Canvas Calendar, and in the Syllabus tool under Course Summary.

To start your Zoom meeting, click the Start button. Click the Open zoom.us button when prompted.

If you are recording your class session, be sure to click Join Audio and Join with Computer Audio buttons.

Zoom will start the meeting with the recording enabled. At this point, your meeting session is live.

The Share button is for sharing your computer screen.

If you want your students to see you in the recording, click the Start Video button. When your meeting has concluded, click the Pause/Stop Recording button.

To end and leave the meeting, click the End Meeting button.

Once you end the meeting, Zoom will process the recording and post it under the Cloud Recordings tab. The processing time may take a few minutes.

• For Zoom meetings and lecture settings, use the Mute Participants option upon entry into the meeting. When you are ready to start the meeting or lecture, you can unmute participants to allow participation.
• Host the meeting in a quiet place with a strong internet connection (preferably hard wired connection).
• Ask students to follow conference call etiquette (e.g., muting themselves and speaking in turns).
• If you need help with Zoom, please contact the EdTech Hub at edtech@law.stanford.edu.
