Using Zoom and starting your meeting

Zoom has several meeting tools you should be familiar with if you are going to use it to hold meetings with your students. To get started with using Zoom, we recommend these resources:

• How do I screen share & annotate in Zoom?
• How do I manage breakout rooms in Zoom?
• How do I use polling in a Zoom meeting?
• How do record my Zoom meeting to the cloud?

When you are ready to start the meeting, from your Zoom portal in Canvas click the Start button (your students can do the same thing to start their meeting). To learn more, see our student guide: How do I join my class Zoom meeting in Canvas?.
