This means you can schedule and start meetings for your course directly within your Canvas course site.

Zoom is integrated with Miami’s learning management system, Canvas.

Scheduling and Starting Zoom Meetings in Canvas (Note: If it is your first time logging into the Zoom desktop app, choose ' Sign In with SSO.' Type ' miamioh' in the box, click ' Continue,' and then complete the login process as usual with Duo). When prompted, log in to Zoom using your Miami email address and password. You can download the desktop app from Zoom’s website and follow the instructions on your device to complete installation and setup. We recommend using the Zoom app, since it has functionality that isn’t included in the web browser version of Zoom (such as whiteboards, annotations, and polls). Zoom can be accessed both through your web browser and through the Zoom app that you download to your computer or device. With features like screen sharing, annotating, and breakout rooms, Zoom makes a great alternative to face-to-face instruction without sacrificing quality of the learning experience.
