Zoom: Getting Started for Instructors

Zoom is a leading online video and web conferencing tool that can be used to hold synchronous class sessions for your course. As an instructor at Brescia, you have access to a Zoom Pro user account.

To access Zoom, select Zoom | Scheduled Meetings in your Moodle course. This will give you access to the following:

• Scheduling and managing Zoom meetings for your course, including:
  • Customizing meeting settings
  • Setting meeting passwords
  • Registration requirements
  • Webcam and microphone permissions
• Accessing and sharing recordings with students

To ensure a smooth course launch with Zoom, please do the following:

1. In your Moodle course, select the Zoom | Scheduled Meetings link to verify it’s connecting with your Zoom account.
2. If this is the first time using Zoom, the Zoom | Scheduled Meetings page will prompt you to verify your email address. Navigate to your email inbox and select the verification link in the email sent from Zoom. Follow the on-screen instructions to create a password.
   If you do not see the verification email from Zoom, please check your Spam or Junk folders.
3. Once you have verified your email address, return to your course page in Moodle and select the Zoom | Scheduled Meetings link to confirm Zoom is now connected.

Please note that you must use your institutional email address for Zoom. If you are unable to access the Zoom interface from the Zoom | Scheduled Meeting link, please contact Brescia's online support for assistance.
