Info

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:

  1. Auto-link Zoom course recordings to the correct course section in Echo 360.

  2. Schedule on behalf of teaching colleagues.

  3. All links to Zoom sessions for a LSE Moodle course are held in one place.

  4. Enable registration for recording attendance.

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).

Once you have your Zoom account, sign into Moodle and go to your course page and Turn editing on. Scroll to the section where you want the Zoom Meetings Manager to be displayed, click Add an activity or resource and pick Zoom Meetings Manager.
