Canvas offers a Zoom interface that integrates with your University Zoom account. This integration allows you to schedule meetings on your Zoom account and share meeting join information with your students directly within Canvas.
1. Log in to your University of Utah Zoom account at utah.zoom.us
If this is your first time using Zoom, please follow the How do I create my University of Utah Zoom account guide before continuing. Always sign into utah.zoom.us or your Zoom desktop client prior to using Zoom in Canvas. This will ensure that the Canvas Zoom interface syncs with your account correctly.
2. In the same browser window, go to the University of Utah's Canvas at utah.instructure.com and log in
3. Find and Select "Zoom" in the Course Navigation
If you get an error stating, "the instructor's email is invalid (2216)" you may have your alias email address set as your default Canvas address. If this is the case, you will need to set your [email protected] formatted address as the default. The Zoom integration requires that your default Canvas email be set as the [email protected] version in order to make the connection.
To update your default address, go to Canvas > Profile in the top left, then > Settings. In the top right, under "Ways to Contact", then click the star next to your [email protected] address to change it.
You might also encounter a "Zoom LTI Pro is requesting access to your account" message, click the red "Authorize" button.
