Adding Zoom to Moodle
Please scroll to the bottom of the page for a video guide on how to set up a Zoom meeting in Moodle
Step 1: Within your module topic space, select "Add an activity or resource".
Step 2: Select Zoom meeting.
Step 3: Give the activity a name and the expected study time. Click Save and display.
Step 4: A new tab will open and you will be able to schedule the meeting from there. Click on schedule meeting in the top right hand corner. Set when the session will run, the expected duration and any other settings that may be required. Then click Save.
Please note: if you are creating a Zoom session on behalf of someone else, you will need to add their email in the "Alternative Hosts" box. If you don't do this they will be unable to start or join the session. If someone else has created it and they are not joining, others may be able to join but no-one else will be able to host the session so functions like screen sharing will not be possible.
Step 5: Once created, the session information is displayed. You can then close this tab and return to your Moodle site homepage when you will be able to see the Zoom meeting link that you have just created.
Step 6: Click the Zoom link and then once the button to start the meeting has been selected, Zoom will prompt you to open the application and the meeting will begin.
Please Note:
If you have not created a Zoom account using your university account as detailed in the Myport article you will get the following error message.
The continue button will not work until you have created an account by following the link in the message.
