Note: Anyone can create as many meeting rooms as they like. When you sign in to https://psu.zoom.us/ there is a tab that says "Personal Meeting Room." That URL never changes. You can even personalize the URL if you like. The "Upcoming Meetings" tab is where you can set up other meeting rooms (with different URLs). It may be useful to use the personal meeting room for all of your personal work (non-class) meetings.
For the purpose of teaching a class using Zoom, you may wish to set up a meeting room for that course - maybe with different parameters. A class meeting room might be set up so that no one can enter the room before you, or that recording automatically starts at the beginning of the meeting. But you might not set up those parameters for a personal meeting room.
To set up a class meeting room:
- Go to https://psu.zoom.us/.
- Click on the Sign In button.
- Click on the Meetings link.
- Click on the Upcoming Meeting tab.
- Click on Schedule a New Meeting.
- Give your meeting a title (“Your class title” for example).
- Select the “Recurring Meeting” box. Then for "Recurrence" click "no fixed time" from the drop-down.
- Click the “Save” button and then next screen will show you the meeting URL. Copy and paste this URL and put it in a place where students will easily find it (perhaps at the top of the Modules page in Canvas.
