Zoom Meetings: Instructions for Faculty

Signing into Zoom

• Click “Sign in”.

• Sign in using your Cambrian email address and password.  (Your password is the same password used to log into computers at the College.)

Scheduling Zoom Meetings

• Click “Schedule a Meeting” from the task bar at the top of the page.

• Add a Topic for the meeting and an optional Description (e.g., ENG1002 Wednesday Class).

• Choose the Date, Time and Duration of the meeting.  Verify your time zone.  

  • Note: the duration is only used for scheduling purposes. Your meeting will not be cut off if it continues past the duration you chose.

• If the meeting is Recurring, click the check box next to “Recurring meeting” and adjust the recurrence settings, as needed.  This works well for classes that run on a specific day and time each week.

• We recommend using a Meeting ID that is generated automatically.

• Click “Save” at the bottom of the screen.

Copying the Invitation

• Click “Add discussion topic”.

• Add a Subject for your message.  (This is similar to the subject line of an email.)

• In the Message section, post the Zoom invitation text and write a brief message to your students.  (This is similar to the body of an email.)
