Canvas - ConferZoom - Add Meetings and Appointments to Your Personal Calendar

Events and Appointment Booking times scheduled in TechConnect Zoom (ConferZoom) Canvas will sync with your personal calendar outside of Canvas when you integrate the two platforms. Supported calendar applications include applications with subscription support for iCalendar/ICS/WebCal feeds.

• Apple iPad / iPhone Calendar
• Outlook for Windows and Outlook.com
• Google Calendar

Create the Calendar Integration

1. Sign into Canvas
2. Navigate to your course, and then open TechConnect Zoom (ConferZoom)
3. Click on Account Settings on the top right of the TechConnect Zoom (ConferZoom) page.
4. Select Personal Calendar on the navigation bar on the left.
5. Save the link as a file or copy/paste into the calendar software subscription section. It is important to subscribe instead of performing a one-time import; the feed updates with adds and changes.

Some calendar software allows you to specify how often the feed is refreshed, while others automatically update about once a day. If you subscribe to E-mail Subscriptions on the TechConnect Zoom (ConferZoom) page in Canvas, you may want to consider setting the change threshold to match your calendar feed update frequency.

Add to Outlook Calendar

When you subscribe to an iCal, your calendar will automatically refresh if the iCal is updated. This can take up to 24 hours.

1. Sign in to Outlook.com.
2. At the bottom of the page select the calendar icon.
3. In the navigation pane, select Import calendar.
4. Under Import calendar, select From web.
5. Under Link to the calendar, paste the URL for the linked calendar copied from Canvas.
6. Under Calendar name, type the name you want to use for the calendar.
7. Select Import.

The new calendar name will appear when signed into Outlook.com; on your desktop Outlook calendar, the calendar will be untitled, but you can rename the calendar for easy identification.
