How to have Zoom appear by default on all course menus

We installed Zoom LTI Pro in our Canvas instance and the default setting for the Zoom LTI  for every course is that it is hidden and has to be enabled via settings-navigation menu. Is there a way to make Zoom appear by default on the course menu for all courses including existing courses without having to "unhide/enable" it for every course?

Hey, Scott!

Yes; there are two options in which you can make Zoom show for everyone. 

Option 1

Reinstall the tool and when you copy/paste the XML for the tool provider, you'll want to change this line:

<lticm:options name="course_navigation"> <lticm:property name="default">disabled</lticm:property>

Change it to this: 

<lticm:options name="course_navigation"> <lticm:property name="default">enabled</lticm:property>

Option 2

Use a program like Postman to make an API call that will update the default view. You have to go the API route since this has not been added to the user interface. 

External Tools - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation provides some details on how you can do this if you have cURL installed.
