Recurring meeting: Check if you would like a recurring meeting (the meeting ID will remain the same for each session). This will open up additional recurrence options.
Recurrence: Select how often you need the meeting to recur: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or No Fixed Time. It can recur up to 50 times. If you need more than 50 recurrences, use the No Fixed Time option.

4. SAVE the meeting and COPY THE LINK to the meeting for post in MYCSW.
NOTE: You can use the extensive support tutorials and knowledge base already available to you in ZOOM.
+ POST THE LINK TO MYCSW
You have created your Zoom account (with MYCSW email), set up a recurring meeting your class and copied the meeting link to your clipboard. The next step is to figure out where to paste the link for students to find it.
1. Paste the link to the TEXT or LINKS CHANNEL on your CLASS BULLETIN BOARD. This makes it front and center so your students can find it.
2. Another option is to use ASSIGNMENTS. The meeting link will appear both in student ASSIGNMENTS, as well as in the calendar. Students can also opt in to receive email/text notifications when ASSIGNMENTS are added or edited, which can serve as a reminder to join the meeting.
paste the link to your Zoom meeting into the Title using the HTML editor; students will see a direct link to the Zoom meeting from their Assignment Center without having to click into the Assignment Detail page, which is nice.

+ ENABLING WAITING ROOMS
The Waiting Room feature in Zoom allows the meeting host to control when a participant joins the meeting. You can meet with one person while another waits in the waiting room and then allow the person waiting to join the meeting. This would be an excellent tool to use when you are meeting one on one with each student in your class.
Here's how to enable Waiting Room for your own meetings:
1 Log on to your Zoom account at zoom.us
2 Create a Meeting. Under Meeting Settings, check off the option to create waiting room for participants.
+ USING WAITING ROOMS
Host your virtual zoom meeting. Allow students to join via the waiting room feature. Invite next student when you as the teacher are ready. Ask previous student to now leave the meeting and get back to individual work time.
1 Once in meeting, the option will be enabled under Manage Participants under More
2 Once a participant joins, you will see the option to either Admit or Remove the user. Selecting Admit will allow them to join the meeting.
3 When a participant is waiting to enter the meeting, they will see the message at right.
