Proactive communication is key! There are several ways your students will be able to access your Zoom meetings, but being proactive about your communication will help ensure all students are ready for your first class session. 

Use communication tools like announcements to explain how students can access your class Zoom meetings. Provide a hyperlink to your Zoom meeting, direct your students to the "TechConnect" link on the course navigation, and explain how to use the Canvas Calendar to schedule individual appointments. 

For instructions on how to setup appointment blocks, check out this tutorial on Creating Student Appointments with Canvas Scheduler Feature. 

If you recorded a Zoom meeting prior to the change, you will need to update the URL address. Below is an example of an incorrect and a correct link.

If you do not update the URL address, your students will receive the error, "This recording does not exist."

1. You will log into your Zoom account using @cerritos.edu email address using the “Sign in with SSO” option.
2. All new Zoom links that you send will come from “https://cerritos-edu.zoom.us“ rather than “https://cccconfer.zoom.us“.
3. Existing or recurring Zoom links will be unaffected and will continue to work into the future.
4. Recordings will not be deleted.

Recordings:

1. Cloud recordings of meetings will move to the new account
2. Local recordings of meetings will NOT move to the new account but will remain available on the computer where the user created the recordings.

Meetings & Webinars:

1. Meetings and Webinars that have been scheduled will move to the new account.
2. Previous meetings are not migrated.
3. Recurrent meetings are migrated.

If a Zoom meeting was scheduled prior to December 19, 2020, the URL address will contain "https://cccconfer.zoom.us/j/92287336711." Once your meeting is launched, the system will automatically correct the link. In some cases, you may see the following message:

Join External Meeting

You are joining an external meeting that does not belong to cccconfer.zoom.us. Are you sure you want to join?

No worries, click "Join" to be directed to the meeting. 

If you scheduled a recurring meeting, we recommend to delete your meetings and reschedule a new recurring meeting. This will prevent any confusion and/or issues in the future. Remember, all Zoom meetings will be required to either have a Passcode or the Waiting Room is enabled by September 2021.
