This article runs through how to create a Zoom Meeting for Teaching activities in Myplace. |
You should navigate to the class in Myplace that you are adding the activity to and Turn Editing On
Select the Zoom Meeting activity and click OK
There are a number of settings:
Password: A random password that participants need to enter is generated but you can change this to a different one. A password is mandatory.
At present the Password is not displayed to participants. Whilst the password might be embeded in the Join Meeting link, this might not always be the case, and as the Host it is up to you to ensure that this detail is made available either in the Activity name or description. |
Zoom allows attendees to join a meeting without logging into Zoom. However they will not be mapped to pre-assigned breakout rooms. All staff and students have Zoom accounts with Strathclyde so there is almost no case where Only Authenticated Users is unchecked. |
Once you have set the meeting parameters click on the Save and return to class or Save and display
In the activity setting, there is an option that allows you to schedule a meeting on behalf of another user who has assigned you scheduling privilege.
The users who will be doing the scheduling first need to be given the privilege via Zoom's setting by the people they will be scheduling on behalf. This needs done at http://strath.zoom.us. To learn how to set up this scheduling privilege please follow Setting up scheduling privilege. |
Note: The user who will be doing the scheduling needs to be enrolled in Myplace class by tutor to be able to schedule meetings on behalf of other users.
If you needed to change the host, on your class page select Edit settings from the dropdown menu.
If you clicked on Save and Display you will see the details of the meeting (if you clicked on Save and return to class you would be returned to the class's main page).
If you are the Host for the meeting (i.e. created it) you will see all of the details of the class.
You can start the meeting at the appropriate time by clicking on the Start Meeting button.
Host Meeting Details
As a student you will see the meeting information with a Join Meeting button.
At present the Password is not displayed to participants. Whilst the password might be embeded in the Join Meeting link, this might not always be the case, and as the Host it is up to you to ensure that this detail is made available either in the Activity name or description. |
