Before creating meetings in Zoom please make sure to activate your Universities of Wisconsin Zoom account. This one-time activation activates your Zoom profile giving you access to premium Zoom features.
- Open your Zoom Desktop app or sign into zoom.uwsp.edu.
- In the middle of the screen, click Schedule.
On the Schedule Meeting screen:
- Add a Topic (e.g. "English 101 Sec 1, 2").
- Select Recurring meeting.
- From the Recurrence dropdown box select No Fixed Time.
Note: Selecting No Fixed Time allows your Zoom classroom meeting to be available to any scheduled classes or individual students with whom you share the meeting link - without adding additional noise to your Outlook calendar.
- Below Security, uncheck Waiting Room so you do not have to monitor this area and allow individual access to your meeting.
- Scroll down to Options and click Show.
- Place a check next to Allow participants to join anytime if not already selected.
- Scroll down and click Save.
This takes you to a summary of your meeting settings.
- Locate the Invite Link on this screen, then copy this link or click the "Copy the Link" icon directly to right.
This is the link to access your Zoom class meeting that you can share with your students in your course, syllabus, and via email.
