Introduction

This page shows how to manually create a Zoom meeting in Canvas for a course. IT will automatically be creating Zoom meetings for courses, but these instructions can help you create any additional meetings as needed and ensure they're accessible to your students in Canvas.

Note: If the host will be meeting with more than one individual for longer than 40 minutes, he/she must have a paid Zoom user license. To request a Zoom account upgrade, please submit our Zoom Account Upgrade Request form.
