To be able to start Zoom meetings from within Canvas, you must first activate your your Zoom account. It takes less than a minute.

It can also be a good idea to start a test meeting. By doing this, you will download and install the program which is needed to use Zoom.

1. Activate your Zoom account

zoom login 1

Go to https://ki-se.zoom.us
Click on the Sign in button.
Done!
If you download the Zoom app, choose SSO from the list of log-in options, then choose "ki-se" as the domain.

We use KI's standard login even in Zoom. Obs: If you have previously had a Zoom account, via Sunet for example, you will need to confirm that you want to change over to the new KI instance.

2. Start a test meeting

It's a good idea to start a test meeting while you're logged directly into Zoom. If you start a test meeting inside Zoom within Canvas, the students in the course will receive a message about the meeting, which is probably something you don't want.

Host test meeting

Click on Host a meeting, up to the right. It doesn't matter if you choose to do so with or without video.

Launch Zoom

It's likely that you will then need to download and install the Zoom client. It's a little program, which is quick to install. When you have installed it, your test meeting will start.

Launch Zoom

If the client is already installed on the computer, then this pop-up will ask if you want to open the meeting with the client. If you check the box, you will avoid being asked the same question every time.
