Accessing a Zoom Event

There are two main ways to access a Zoom event for {{site.classnum}}, {{site.quarter}} described in the sections below. Choose whichever you find most convenient! To access recordings of the lecture sessions, you will need to use the Zoom in Canvas option.

When joining the call, if this is for a lecture or quiz section, you will automatically be added to the call assuming that the member of the course staff leading that session has started the call. If this is for office hours, you will be added to a waiting room and a course staff member will help you when they are available!

For further instructions, see UW-IT's documentation:

• Sign into Zoom software on your computer
  • ⚠️ Important: You will need to follow the instructions to "Login with SSO" so you can sign in with your UW Zoom account. For privacy reasons, only UW Zoom accounts will be allowed into our sessions.

Zoom in Canvas

Click on the Zoom link on the left side of our Canvas course (or this link here). This brings up a list of all Zoom meetings for this course (you will see more meetings since there will also be ones for office hours and sections). Note that these images are from a different course, they are for illustration only.

Say you want to join lecture on Friday, April 3. You will click on the "Join" button for lecture that day (shown in the image below), and it will launch a new tab that will launch Zoom. Note that your calendar will likely have more than one event per day (for office hours), so make sure you click the right event! This will then launch Zoom so you can join the meeting (or launch the Zoom app if you have downloaded that).

Canvas Calendar

Access your Canvas calendar by clicking on the Calendar option in the left-most side bar (or accessing this link here). The image below shows you what the Canvas calendar looks like. Make sure in the Calendars section on the right that you have {{site.course}} selected, otherwise none of our events will show up. Your calendar likely has more events (including sections and office hours for this course).

You can switch between Week/Month/Agenda on the top right if there are too many events in the month view. You can also use the controls at the top to switch days.

Say you want to join lecture on Friday, April 3. You will click on the event called "CSE 340 Lecture" in the calendar for that day, and then click "Click here to join Zoom Meeting: ..." shown in the picture below. Note that your calendar will likely have more than one event per day (for office hours), so make sure you click the right event! This will then launch Zoom so you can join the meeting (or launch the Zoom app if you have downloaded that).
