Import a Scheduled Zoom Meeting into Canvas

In most cases, you will set up Zoom meetings for your class directly in Canvas. However, in some cases you may need to import a Zoom meeting you created outside of Canvas into a Canvas course. Importing a meeting into the Canvas course ensures that students have direct access to the Zoom meeting and any associated recordings automatically through the Canvas course.

This method can only be used to share a meeting with one Canvas course. If you want to share a meeting with multiple courses, the meeting invitation link must be posted elsewhere in Canvas, such as in an Announcement.

Log in to Canvas.
On your Canvas Dashboard, select the course and then Zoom (1) from the course navigation.
Select the blue All My Zoom Meetings/Recordings (2) link in the upper right corner.

Find the meeting you want to share with students. Select and copy the Meeting ID (3)
Above your meeting list, select the blue Course Meetings/Recordings link (4)

In the upper right corner of this screen, to the right of the blue Schedule a New Meeting button, there is a small square with three vertical dots (5). Select that and then choose Import Meeting (6).
In the small pop-up window, paste in the meeting ID (7).
Select the Import button (8). The meeting link will now be visible to students in the course.
