Important Note

Note: Your students will see only the meetings that you schedule inside your Canvas course. If you've already scheduled meetings using the Zoom website or the Zoom desktop application, your students will not see those meetings in their Upcoming Meetings list. However, you can import those meetings into your Canvas course.
