Zoom: Appointments in Canvas

One of the new features within the Canvas-Zoom integration is the option for students and instructors to engage Zoom Appointments within the course site. Please keep the following tips in mind when using this feature.

• The Zoom appointment is not synced to the Canvas calendar.
• We recommend that students log into their UT Zoom account before scheduling an appointment.
• When an appointment is scheduled by a student, the instructor and the student will receive an email from Zoom with a link confirming the appointment.

Instructors - How to Get Started with Scheduling a Zoom Appointment Block:

1. Ensure that your @tennessee.edu email address is selected as the primary in your Canvas course.
2. Select the Zoom menu item in the course.
3. Select Appointments and then Create Schedule to set an available appointment block. You may choose a day of the week and time-frame, and the duration of the appointment time.
4. Once a student selects an appointment block you will receive an email from Zoom confirming the appointment and a link to the appointment. We recommend returning to the Appointments section and choosing Upcoming Events to start the meeting.

Students - How to Choose a Zoom Appointment in Canvas

1. Select the Zoom menu item within the course site.
2. Choose Appointments at the top of the window.
3. Select an appointment from the available appointment block (appointment blocks are chosen by the instructor).
4. Once an appointment block is chosen, Zoom will send the instructor and the student an email with a confirmation of the appointment and a meeting link.
