The Zoom integration with Canvas allows instructors to create and manage online meetings inside their courses, making it easy for students to find and access them. Below you will find links to relevant documentation for the Zoom Meetings tool.
If you have not already created a licensed UNM Zoom account, see Zoom Licensing for information on creating your free account. You will need a licensed UNM Zoom account—meaning you’ve requested and received an upgrade from a basic account—if you plan to host meetings with your students that last longer than 40 minutes.
Note: Instructors with HSC Zoom accounts will need to create a licensed UNM Zoom account with main campus to use the Zoom Meetings tool in Canvas.
Need to join a meeting? Please see the Zoom Participant Guide.
FERPA Considerations
Any audio or video of a class meeting or part of a class assignment/project that can be viewed live or recorded for later distribution containing the name, image, video or audio of one or more students is subject to FERPA.
Please take some time to familiarize yourself with the FERPA considerations for live interaction, lecture capture and audio/video recordings of course meetings.
