Adding Zoom to a Moodle Course
Nazareth College faculty and staff can manage virtual meetings directly in their Moodle courses using a special Zoom link. This gives faculty the ability to schedule and launch Zoom meetings without leaving Moodle. The link also provides students with easy access and entry to any virtual events scheduled for the course. Users are always required to have (or download) the Zoom application on their device when launching a meeting.
Tip: If you are looking to set up an link for virtual office hours across multiple courses, you will want to follow these instructions.
