Introduction

This page lists the steps to start a course Zoom Meeting. These instructions apply to Faculty who are using a Zoom Classroom or teaching remotely.

Important Notes:

Five minutes before the scheduled start time of a course's Zoom Meeting and during the meeting's duration, the Zoom touch panel in the classroom will give Faculty the option to press Start Meeting.

If a Faculty does not press Start on the Zoom Classroom touch panel, but hosts the meeting from an alternate device, the meeting will continue and the Zoom Classroom will not join the meeting.

How to Start a Zoom Class Meeting in a Zoom Classroom

What to do:

Press Start on the Zoom Classroom touch panel.

Note: This button will only appear five minutes before the scheduled start time of a course's Zoom Meeting.

Notes:

As the scheduled start of the meeting approaches, the background color will change from blue to orange and then red to remind you to start the meeting.

If you do not interact with the Zoom Classroom equipment for 19 minutes after the scheduled start of the meeting, the reference monitor will let you know that the room will be released in 1 minute.
