Certain schools and programs have enabled Zoom in Canvas, including:

Columbia Law School

If you have a Zoom Pro account through Columbia University, you can access Zoom directly through Canvas to hold live sessions of your course remotely. The schools listed above have already provisioned Zoom Pro accounts for their instructors. If you do not already have a Zoom Pro account you can also provision your own Zoom Basic account here through UNI login and then request a Pro upgrade from CUIT.

If Zoom is already enabled, you'll see it in the course menu and can click on it to use:

If you see Zoom already in your course, our friends at SEAS have made a wonderful 3-minute video that shows Zoom basics, and this link will appear again at the end of the article.

If You Didn't See Zoom enabled:

If your school has enabled Zoom in Canvas but you don't see "Zoom Class Sessions" in your Canvas course, follow these steps to enable “Zoom Class Sessions” for your course.

Settings -> Navigation

Scroll down, click on Zoom Class Sessions -> Enable -> Save

You can now click on the Zoom Class Sessions link to schedule and begin live sessions

When you click on the Zoom Class Sessions link, it opens a window in Canvas to your Zoom account.

From the Upcoming Meetings tab, you can Schedule a New Meeting, or start a meeting that's been scheduled:

There is also a link to the Zoom support page (Get Training)

From the Personal Meeting Room tab, you can start a meeting "on the fly," just as you would in your Zoom account:

Meetings that are created in your Zoom account through Canvas are automatically available to your students through the course (they don't need a Zoom account). They can only see meetings that have been scheduled through the course that they're in, and not other courses or other meetings in your Zoom account.
