Keeping a ZOOM LTI meeting from showing on the Canvas Calendar

[CLD_vmms]

Many at our school are wondering if there is a way to keep a zoom meeting from showing on the students Canvas Calendar.  What we are seeing is the zooms on calendars is overwhelming some of out students, especially the inconsistent way our teachers are doing that.  So for many of us we have a link in our Canvas class.  

Is there an simple way to schedule a recurring meeting using the Zoom LTI Pro we have and have that meeting not show on the calendar?

Hello @CLD_vmms ...

I'm assuming it's the case for you and your colleagues that when you schedule Zoom meetings via the Zoom LTI Pro interface in Canvas, those meetings are being added automatically to the Canvas Calendar for you and students.  This is actually a setting that is configured by whoever set up the Zoom/Canvas integration.  The setting applies to everyone within your Canvas environment.  So, if you are requesting that they turn that setting off, it will turn it off for everyone in Canvas.  So, you'd want to have a discussion with whomever set up the integration.  This could be someone like your school's local Canvas administrator or someone from your school's Online Learning/eLearning department, for example.

I hope this will be of some help to you.  Sing out if you have any other questions...thanks!  Take care, and be well.
