Setting up recurring meetings with automatic recording in Canvas

This is recommended for online classes or classes with online sections. Meeting invites through Canvas will automatically be sent to students. Your recordings will automatically be viewable to both you and your students in your Canvas course view under Zoom Conferences > Cloud Recordings tab.

If you wish to control who has access to the recording, set up the recurring meeting via UFIT Zoom and place the join link to your Canvas page instead. Please see the Teaching and Learning Center team for Canvas-specific questions.

See also UF’s How to Record a Meeting PDF.

Mention that meeting invites from the Canvas LTI will be sent to the students automatically and recordings will also automatically be viewable. If the professor wants to gatekeep this, they need to setup the meeting in ufl.zoom.us and place the join URL on their canvas page normally instead. Direct canvas specific questions to the TLC team.

1. Log into Canvas with GatorLink username and password.
2. On the left side, click Courses.
3. Select the course.
4. On the left side, click Zoom Conferences.
5. If the recurring meeting isn’t already set up, click Schedule a New Meeting.
