Zoom Meeting Settings
Setting Up Meetings Through Canvas
If you are an instructor creating a Zoom meeting for a class session, it is recommended to schedule the meeting through your Canvas class. Zoom is fully integrated and available within every Canvas course. When meetings are scheduled for a class from within Canvas, it keeps the meetings accessible from within Canvas and does not require an instructor to send out meeting links through email. This keeps the meetings accessible from within Canvas, and limits the opportunity for meeting links to be shared with outside users.
To schedule a Zoom meeting within a Canvas course, instructors may view this instructional guide from Academic Technology.
Personal Meeting ID
Every Zoom user has a personal meeting ID that can be used to schedule and join meetings. When setting up a meeting in Zoom, it is recommended to never schedule meetings using your personal meeting ID. Creating meetings with different ID numbers will prevent unwanted attendees from joining your Zoom meetings.
When you set up your meetings, choose the option for Zoom to generate a meeting ID automatically.
Mute Participants Upon Entry
You may mute participants upon their entry to your Zoom meeting. This option is available in the meeting option section when scheduling a Zoom meeting. Participants will be able to enable their microphone after joining the call. You can mute specific participants, or all participants throughout your meeting.
Turn Off File Transfers
Prevent attendees from transferring files during the meeting by signing in to https://colum.zoom.us. Go to the settings section and make sure that the file transfers option is turned off.
