This article runs through how to create a Zoom Meeting for Teaching activities in Myplace.

1. Go to your class site

You should navigate to the class in Myplace that you are adding the activity to and Turn Editing On

2. Add an activity or resource

Select the Zoom Meeting activity and click OK

There are a number of settings:

Name: this should clearly describe the purpose of the meeting activity (e.g. Tuesday Lectures). You may wish to include the Password for the meeting here so students can see it from the course page
Description: Further details
When: If the meeting is a one-off meeting you can specify the times. If you want to re-use the space (e.g. for scheduled lectures), tick the Recurring box.
Password: A random password that participants need to enter is generated but you can change this to a different one. A password is mandatory.
Host Video: On
Participants Video: This is up to your choice, for a lecture you may wish this disabled
Audio Options : The default is VoIP & Telephony
Mute upon entry: Checked
Meeting Options:
- Enable join before host: Unchecked
- Enable waiting room: This will allow you hold the participants outside of the main room until you are ready for them (see Zoom Support Site for more information)
