Preparing for your meetings
The following meeting schedule and setting recommendation are for your reference. Most of the screenshots are taken from the Zoom Pro tab within the Camino course.
You can schedule the meetings using the Zoom.us website or the Zoom desktop client. The layout may look slightly different.
| We recommend using the Zoom Pro tab within your Camino course site to schedule recurring class meetings. This is the easiest way to share Zoom meeting information with your students, and to share class recordings with your students automatically. | ||||||||||||

WHEN Input your first day of class. The time field defaults to 15minute increment, but you can change it by clicking on the field and type in the desired start time in the HH:MM format. Make sure to double check AM/PM. Zoom will let you start the meeting even if it's not during the scheduled time. DURATION The duration field defaults to 15minute increment. We recommended setting the time to the closest 30minute. Zoom will not cut you off if you run past the meeting during time.
TIME ZONE You should not have to change the default Pacific Time (US & Canada) time zone unless you (the meeting scheduler) are currently in a different time zone. |

RECURRING MEETING Check the Recurring checkbox to see the recurring options. The most common setting is to set Recurrence to Weekly, Repeat every 1 week. Check all the days you are meeting every week (we will cover how to remove holidays in the later section.)

SECURITY We strongly recommend you set security parameters to prevent possible Zoombombing. Passcode can be customized with upto 10 letters, numbers, and special characters. Waiting Room is a great option for 1:1 meetings or office hours. However we do not recommend turning on this option for recurring meetings. Require authentication to join - Zoom users with SCU email is recommended if you would liked to track meeting attendance. If you are expecting a guest from outside of SCU community to join your class, you can change the settings to allow any Zoom user.

By using the Zoom Pro feature, the copied video is posted to the Class Recordings folder in Camino automatically for you. |
