[ARCHIVED] Adding Zoom as a Conference Drop-Down Selection Option

[Skywalker]

I have an admin role and our institution is new to Canvas.  We are also a Zoom customer.  We used this resource to setup some level of integration - https://zoomappdocs.docs.stoplight.io/lti-pro-v2/guides/canvas

That said, if one goes into a course, then selects CONFERENCES, and then ADD CONFERENCE, is there a way to add Zoom as a type in the drop-down where we currently only see Big Blue Button.  If so, how can one do that?  Thank you.

Good morning.  The Zoom Pro LTI is a separate third-party component that can be integrated with Canvas, and therefore it has its own course navigation button.  I don't believe there is any way to add it to the "Conferences" course navigation button...since that actually uses the BigBlueButton interface.

I hope this helps a bit.  Let Community members know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!

@Chris_Hofer is correct!  We use zoom in our Canvas account and you need to add the LTI for it and then we hide Conferences in the course navigation so it doesn't confuse our students.  The LTI will put Zoom on the Course Navigation.
