Making “Zoom” Visible in the Course Layout Menu
You can make the Zoom tool link visible to students in the Course Layout Menu if you like, this is not necessary for the use of the Zoom tool, but if you want a direct link to Zoom on the course menu, that is an option.
Step 1: Make “Zoom” Visible in the Course Layout Menu
Log into Canvas and select a course you are an Instructor in.
Select Settings from the bottom of the Course Layout Menu.
On the Settings Page, Select the Navigation tab.
Locate Zoom and drag-and-drop or manually move the tool up to the top part of the Navigation Screen to make it available to students.
Choose the location you would like it to appear in your Course Layout Menu.

As an Instructor, you can then click on the Zoom link in the Course Layout menu to interact with the Zoom Integration. Within the Integration you can:
Schedule, Manage and Cancel Zoom Meetings for the class.
View Upcoming Meetings, Previous Meetings, access a Personal Meeting Room and Cloud Recordings.
Manage Alternative Hosts.

Import and Dissociate Zoom meetings with the course.

...
Step 2: Schedule a Meeting
Once logged in and within the Zoom experience, select Schedule a Meeting.
You are given options for your meeting name, description, date/time, duration, and recurrence. LTS recommends leaving Registration turned off and enabling Mute participants upon entry.
Any instructors or learning assistants for your course set up through Canvas will automatically be added as alternative hosts in Zoom meetings scheduled via the integration. (TAs, co-instructors, etc. may first need to click the Zoom Meetings link to show up as an Alternative Host).
