Zoom is the preferred method supported by ASU for live-streamed lectures. IT staff is ready to help you with this. Even if you choose to record content or use previously created content, providing students with a live, face-to-face experience is essential. Utilizing the previously schedule course day and time is ideal.

You can either copy the meeting join URL or copy the invite text by clicking on the ‘copy the invitation’ button next to the URL when you set up the meeting. Invite others to join a meeting.
Is there a way to see who attended the zoom meeting?
About 30 minutes after the session has ended, if you got to ‘reports’ you can find a list of attendees for a particular meeting. For more details see this doc on how to check attendance in a remote class.
