  2. Attend a classroom technology training with IST prior to the semester and/or review the Canvas Zoom Conferencing Tool documentation 
  3. You can use Zoom Conferencing within your Canvas course site to create and share Zoom meeting for potential participants.

At the Start of Class

  1. Turn the room AV system on using the touch screen on the wall.
  2. You will need to Sign in to your Zoom account using the Zoom application on your device.
  3. Launch your Zoom session from your device.
