When you want to use Zoom for a meeting outside of a Murray State Canvas course you should use the SSO. The URL for this is: https://murraystate.zoom.us
1. Join allows you to join a meeting in progress. You can join using the meeting ID or a personal Link Name (defined below)
2. Host allows you to start a meeting and invite participants from the menu bar within the meeting
3. Sign in allows you to access your Zoom account by logging in with your existing Murray State myGate username and password where you can schedule meetings and manage your account.
Managing your Zoom account
Profile allows you to access and edit your zoom information and settings including:
- Personal meeting ID: this can be used as a permanent link to your personal Zoom meeting space and can be shared via email, added to a page in Canvas, etc. to allow people to join your meeting. You can also use the URL listed here as a quick link to the meeting space
- The personal link allows you to customize the link to your personal meeting. The common part of this URL is based on the SSO: https://murraystate.zoom.us/my/
Suggested personal link formatting:
- https://murraystate.zoom.us/my/msu email.office extension [not your personal email or cell!]. This is easier to remember and includes contact info for the student if something goes wrong.
- example: https://murraystate.zoom.us/my/teacher5.1234
Meetings menu allows you to join a meeting, host a meeting, or schedule a meeting from the SSO. For larger meetings, Our account allows meetings of up to 300 participants and can be updated upon request to allow up to 500 participants.
Webinars menu allows you to access Webinars scheduled upon request from the AAS team. Please refer to Creating and Starting a Zoom Webinar for more information.
Recordings menu allows you to access your stored recordings on the cloud.
Settings menu allows you to customize your default settings. The default settings are a mirror of the administrative defaults, but many can be changed here by the user in their account. In some cases, these cannot be changed, as there are a few options that are locked administratively.
