How to schedule courses on Zoom

There are two methods to scheduling courses on Zoom. The first method is through your web browser, and the second method is through your Zoom app.

Method 1: How to schedule courses on your web browser

1. Go to this link to sign in: Zoom Sign In
   1. If you not sure how to sign in to your Mailman lecture account, please use this link: How to sign-in to your Mailman Lecture Account.
2. Once you are signed in, click on the "Meetings" tab located on the left hand side.
   
   
3. Then Click on the "Schedule a New Meeting" button.
   
   
4. For "Topic" fill in the name of the course.
   
5. Fill in the Date and Time of the course, as well as the duration.
   
   
6. Make sure you enable "Recurring Meeting"
   
   
   1. Once you enable "Recurring Meeting" you are presented with "Recurrence", "Repeat every", and "End Date"
   2. Set Recurrence to "No Fixed Time".
   
7. Meeting ID should always be set to "Generate Automatically". To prevent Zoom bombing, we will not be using "Personal Meeting ID ###-###-###"
   
   
8. For Video, we recommend having it "Off" at the start of the class until the faculty is ready to turn on their camera.
   
   
9. For Audio, we recommend "Both" in case there are internet issues, faculty and students can dial in.
   
   
10. For Meeting options, by default you should always enable "Enable join before host"! That way faculty and students can join the call without having to sign-in to the Mailman Lecture account to start the class.
    
    
    
    1. For "Mute participants upon entry", this is an optional feature. I tend to have this disabled, to let students have discussions prior to the start of the lecture.
       
    2. By default "Only authenticated users can join" is already enabled in settings, so you can leave it disabled.
       
    3. For "Breakout Room pre-assign", please have this disabled, since we are scheduling the courses for faculty, we cannot pre-assign students into groups.
       
    4. For "Record the meeting automatically on the local computer", please have this disabled. We would like the faculty to be able to record their lecture when they are ready, we will not have to crop out the beginning of each class.
       
11. For "Alternative Host", please leave that blank since there will not be an alternative host to these courses.
    
12. When you are ready, click on the "Save" button!
