Overview
If you are already using the Canvas / Zoom integration to schedule live, class meetings, you may want to take a look at the new Zoom Schedule Appointments feature in the Zoom integration. However, TLP still prefers the Canvas appointment scheduler over the Zoom appointment scheduler because the Zoom appointments do not show up on the Canvas calendar.
Watch: Bookable Appointments (5 min)
Important Disclaimers
- Students can book / view / join / cancel appointments from the Zoom integration in the Appointments area.
- Appointments do NOT show up on the Canvas calendar. They show up in the Upcoming Meetings tab in the Zoom / Canvas integration.
- Once students book a time slot with you, both you and the student receive email confirmations from Canvas.
