Canvas course class meetings are scheduled and managed using the TechConnect Zoom tool in Canvas. This article covers scheduling and managing meetings and managing recordings in Canvas.
Instructors can also offer 1:1 appointments in their courses using Zoom Appointments; learn more here.
Schedule a New Meeting
