Join from the Zoom area of your Canvas course

Navigate to the Zoom area of your Canvas course site by clicking Zoom on the course navigation menu, then click the Join button for the scheduled meeting:

If you are using a mobile device to join the meeting, the Zoom mobile app will launch automatically when you click Join.
