Hi @CKR,

You will likely need your Canvas administrator and Zoom administrator (who will both usually be in the eLearning / IT / Digital Education areas of your school/institution) to work together to make Zoom available in your Canvas instance.  There may be an extra fee from Zoom to enable their LMS integration, and as far as I know it's only available for zoom enterprise-type licenses.

Hope this helps!

Thank you so much for your respond Chris. I was asking for the canvas instructure account. In that account I didnt have the zoom app. Also I have my own free zoom app account and I tried to add that account in my canvas instructure account. It seem little strange because under the canvas instructure account I cant see the zoom home page to create new meetings. I am trying to explain to to hope it makes some sense to you. Free zoom app allow you only 40 min meetings then it cut off the meeting and you need to go to zoom link and start over that meeting. I wanted longer meetings through the canvas instructure.

Thank you

Hi @CKR,

If you're using the "Free for Teacher" version of Canvas, which is what it sounds like to me, I don't believe you'll be able to install a zoom app.  As far as I know, the integration between Canvas and Zoom would require both a paid Canvas instance and a Paid enterprise-type Zoom license.  If I'm incorrect, I'm sure someone else will reply here, but I am fairly confident in this answer as the Canvas admin for the institution I work for.
