Scheduling a Zoom meeting in Canvas using Zoom LTI Pro 1.3

To schedule a Zoom meeting in Canvas using the Zoom Pro LTI 1.3 integration, follow these steps:

Initial Setup (One-Time Configuration)

  1. Link Your Puget Sound Zoom Account to Canvas:

  • You may need to link your Canvas account with your Zoom account. This usually involves logging in to Zoom through the Canvas interface and authorizing the integration.
  • Be sure to access Canvas via canvas.pugetsound.edu. The integration will not work if you are accessing Canvas via the outdated pugetsound.instructure.com.
