By default, only a meeting’s host can share their screen, but you can change this setting after your meeting has started by either allowing all participants in your meeting to share their screens or by making the person who needs to present a co-host of the meeting.
Can I limit access to my Zoom meeting to only people with @Miamioh.edu accounts?
Yes! IT Services added this security setting to Zoom on September 29, 2020. Once you’ve enabled it, when you select the “Only authenticated users can join” box in a meeting’s “Meetings Options” settings, you’ll see a drop-down menu with “Sign in as MiamiOH.edu user” listed as an option.
How do I invite someone to a Zoom meeting while it’s in progress?
Inviting someone to an in-progress Zoom meeting is simple because all Zoom really does is copy the meeting invitation text or its link, then paste it into a message. Unfortunately, it doesn’t allow you to just enter an email address.
Where can I retrieve a recorded Zoom class meeting?
Where your recorded class sessions are saved depends on whether you opted to record them to the cloud or to your computer (i.e., locally). If you recorded your Zoom meeting to the cloud, students may be able to watch it within Canvas, or you can copy a sharing link from your account in Miami’s Zoom web portal. However, if you recorded your Zoom meeting locally (i.e., saved it on your computer), you’ll need to search for its video file within your computer’s Documents folder.
Where can I find reports for a Zoom meeting?
Reports for Zoom meetings can be found in both Canvas and our Zoom web portal (miamioh.zoom.us). However, you’ll be able to quickly and easily download a report for a class session held via Zoom while you’re in your Canvas course if your meeting was set up to have a specific date and time.
Where can I find Zoom chat logs and/or meetings I’ve recorded to my computer?
This is a great mystery for all Zoom users—not just Miami ones! When you record class sessions to your computer (instead of to the cloud), Zoom saves them within the “Documents” folder on your computer. In it, you’ll find a folder called “Zoom,” which has a subfolder for each of your Zoom meetings. It also downloads every meeting’s chat log to its meeting folder.
How can I share a recorded Zoom meeting with just a few students?
If you record a Zoom meeting to the cloud, it’ll show up under the Recording tab in the Zoom link in your Canvas course. There’s no way to hide this tab, so if you don’t want students to have access to the recording, you’ll need to instead record the meeting to your computer.
How do I turn off email notifications for Zoom recordings?
Email notifications about cloud recording availability are being sent by Zoom, so you’ll need to turn them off within your Zoom account’s settings.
Can Zoom automatically grade attendance in Canvas?
Unfortunately, there’s no way to integrate Zoom with Canvas Grades. However, you can download an attendance report for each class meeting that shows when students joined and left the meeting and the overall duration of their attendance.
Should I create a recurring meeting with no fixed time in Zoom?
While Zoom gives you the option to create a meeting with “no fixed time” when you select the option for a recurring meeting, I advise against this for several reasons: problems with polling, more limited access to reports, and no calendar connection.
