Canvas - ConferZoom - Account Settings

The ConferZoom tool in Canvas allows instructors to schedule and host class meetings using Zoom. Students join the live sessions and view recordings from within the course.  

 

 

Open the course, then click ConferZoom in the navigation panel. On the top right click Account Settings to access options for:

• An Overview of account settings
• Personalization of your view
• Schedule Email notifications
• Link to a Personal Calendar
• Sync your Conferencing Accounts (scroll to this section, towards the bottom of the article for instructions)

Overview

The Identity Email address field must be the same as your Canvas sign in email and your TechConnect Zoom account.  If it does not match, contact your Canvas admin for assistance.

Personalization

The time zone settings do not need to be changed.  Select Configure Theme to change the style and theme of your view.

Email

Enter a different Messaging Email Address to receive notifications. Subscribe to notifications for Reminders, Scheduling Changes, and receive a Schedule Itinerary of upcoming events at selected time periods. 

Personal Calendar  

Set personal calendar applications to subscribe to a list of your upcoming sessions.  After clicking the Personal Calendar tab, the following page opens with a link to paste into your calendar software subscription section; it is important to subscribe rather than perform a one-time import as the feed changes over time.  Learn more about supported calendars. 

Conferencing Accounts

The first step before scheduling meetings is to sync your Canvas account with your TechConnect Zoom account. When a green check appears, your account is ready to use; do not click 'Reassociate my account'

If your TechConnect Zoom account email does not match your Identity Email (described above in Overview), an error will appear stating there is no existing account available.  If the error occurs:

1. Verify your primary email in your Canvas account settings in the Ways to Contact section on the top right matches your Identify Email and has the star icon next to it. If the address do not match, contact your Canvas admin for assistance.
2. If the addresses do match, but you still receive an error, submit a ticket to  [e-mail] to verify the status of your TechConnect Zoom account.
3.  When the needed changes are made, begin the process again to sync your account.
