Setup

To access your personal Zoom account, login to TUportal and select Zoom from the left navigation menu or go to temple.zoom.us.

  • If you are using Zoom to host your online class sessions, add Zoom to your Canvas course navigation and create your class sessions from within your Canvas course.
  • Zoom Virtual Background Images
  • Verbiage for Zoom Classes:
    • Zoom Virtual Classes: This course will meet XX often using Zoom. Zoom is downloaded to your computer the first time you use it and does require regular updates; please download the latest version of Zoom and open the downloaded file to install the app before the course begins. If you have already downloaded Zoom for a previous course, review instructions on updating to the latest version.

      Make sure you enter your first name and last name correctly when signing into your Zoom session. While there are ways to join a Zoom session through mobile phone, this should only be used in an emergency. Please log into the virtual classes before the scheduled class time, as we will begin promptly. You can access the virtual classes in Canvas under the “Zoom” link in your Course Navigation. Students in classes with Zoom registration enabled can also access sessions via the link that is emailed to them.
