Zoom Meetings Manager is the new way to add Zoom meetings to your Moodle course. It has a number of advantages over the old ‘Zoom Meeting (web conferencing)’ method, such as:
The Eden Centre plans to phase out the old “Zoom Meeting” tool, so please use the Zoom Meetings Manager from this point on (September 2021). |
...
You'll then see the standard form for creating a new Zoom meeting, which allows you to specify the settings described below.
Please note that the Eden Centre is not able to automatically schedule Zoom meetings based on the timetable because there is currently no method enabling Zoom to talk to the LSE timetabling system.
General Settings
Topic
Provide a name for the meeting, such as “EC201 Week 01 Lecture”, or “EC201 Week 01 Class 06 Meeting”. If using the recurring meeting setting (see below), you do not need to include the date or week number.
...
Meeting options
We recommend that you do not Enable join before host as students who join early and leave again may trigger a zoom recording upload. It may also prevent “zoombombing” (unwanted visitors in your meeting).
...
If you need to schedule non-teaching meetings using the Zoom app or web portal, see our separate guide on scheduling meetings on behalf of others.
Alternative hosts
| Note |
|---|
Do not use the ‘alternative host’ feature to schedule lectures/classes on behalf of teaching colleagues. This can result in meeting clashes as the Moodle Editor remains the primary host for all those meetings. Primary hosts can only hold one meeting at a time. Also, recordings are sent to the primary host's Zoom account, not the alternative host. |
