Zoom Integration: Create and Schedule Meetings

Users with the role of Teacher, Designer and TA are able to schedule and start Zoom meetings with the CarmenCanvas Zoom integration.

The instructor who creates the meeting is the meeting owner. The owner can add other people as co-hosts if other instructors need access to manage meetings.

Co-hosts can:

  • start a meeting

  • manage participants

  • record meeting

  • view breakout rooms (if created)

Co-hosts cannot:

  • edit a meeting

  • delete a meeting

  • start polls

  • manage breakout rooms

  • end a meeting

Caution

Meetings and edits created in CarmenCanvas show up in the CarmenZoom web portal but not the reverse. Meetings and edits made within the CarmenZoom web portal will not appear in CarmenCanvas. If you're setting up course-specific meetings, it is best to do this within Carmen.
