Canvas + Zoom Personal Meeting Room Notification

[LauraSibson]

Yesterday I set up a Zoom meeting using Personal Meeting Room within my Canvas account. A notification went out to my entire class. The meeting was not for them. I understand that scheduling an Upcoming Meeting would alert the class. But Personal Meeting Room should not. I chatted with our university's IT Help Desk and they didn't have any solution.

Hi @LauraSibson 

Did you log into Zoom directly to schedule the meeting, or did you use the Zoom integration link in the Canvas course menu?

The Zoom LTI Pro integration tool is designed to integrate Zoom into Canvas,  If you schedule the meeting through the Canvas integration link in the course menu for a particular course, then it is assumed that the Zoom meeting you are scheduling a meeting for that course, and it adds a calendar entry, etc. in the course.

It doesn't matter whether the meeting you are scheduling is generating a new meeting ID or using your Personal Meeting ID, since many people use their Personal Meeting ID for all of their meetings.

If you want to schedule a meeting that is unrelated to your Canvas course, you will want to log directly into Zoom, and not use the Zoom integration link in Canvas.
