How to Set up a Zoom Session within Moodle


Students joining your virtual classroom will need the link to be able to log in for class. These steps will help you set up a Zoom meeting within Moodle. 


  1. Log into your Moodle course 

  2. Select Turn Editing On at the top, right corner of the screen 


  1. Select Add an activity or resource 

 


  1. Select Zoom Meeting from the Activities list and Add at the bottom of the box

 


  1. Name your meeting (Ex. August 8/17 OR Zoom Class Sessions)


  1. You can use the same Zoom link for the entire semester by selecting the Recurring checkbox.  This setting could be misleading.  It actually means the Zoom link is perpetual and will always be accessible to students.


  1. If you want to add a new Zoom link for every class session, set the date and duration for this particular session.


  1. Additional Suggested Settings

    1. There is no need to set a password since access to your Zoom session will require a Moodle login.

    2. Leave both Host video and Participants video selected as “On” so that students can see you and each other throughout the class 

    3. For Audio options, the VolP and Telephony radio button should be checked so that students can utilize as many audio options as possible 

    4. Select Enabling join before host so it allows students to log into the classroom before you start the meeting


  1. Grade, Outcomes, Common module settings, etc. can be changed as other Moodle activities. 

  2. Select Save and Display 

  1. Students should be directed to access their Zoom session via the link located in their Moodle course.
