Zoom - Virtual office hours in Canvas

  1. Log into your Canvas course
  2. Click on the Zoom tab (left hand side)

  3. Click “Schedule a New Meeting”

  4. Name the meeting “Online Office Hours”
  5. Check “Recurring meeting”
  6. Under “Recurrence” drop-down select “No fixed time”

  7. Check "waiting room" if you want to ensure only one (1) person is in there at a time

  8. Make sure “Enable join before host” is disabled (unchecked)
  9. Click Save

Under an announcement, you can post your office hours and then instruct them to click on the "Zoom" tab and join the "Online Office Hours" meeting during the posted time.  If you want them to schedule office hours with you outside of your posted times, they should do this through Outlook and have them join the "Online Office Hours" during the scheduled time.
