Faculty must create a Zoom meeting through the Capitol Live section of their Canvas course in order for students to automatically access the weekly live session and recordings. View the video or text below to learn how to create your Zoom meeting. See the Capitol Zoom resources page for system requirements, live training and best practices information.

To edit existing meetings or create personal meetings log in to the Zoom landing page using your Capitol email login information.
Select the Sign in with SSO option when logging in to Zoom via mobile apps or the desktop client and use your Capitol email login information.

*Note* The "Recording the meeting automatically in the cloud" option will automatically record when a student or faculty member first enters the room. A workaround for this, is to check the Enable waiting room option to control when students can enter the classroom or to uncheck the automatic recording option.

*Note* There is an issue where faculty may come in as a participant instead of a host when “Enable join before host” is checked in meeting settings. This is a rare occurrence, but if it happens you can use the Claim Host option in Zoom to return to host. This requires a host key listed in your Zoom profile page.
