How to Require Registration for a Zoom Meeting in Canvas

The Zoom conferencing tool allows hosts to require participants to register for a scheduled meeting in order to collect important information. The information provided by participants may also be used during the Zoom meeting such as displaying participant names or collecting names from poll results. In addition, requiring registration may aid in filtering participants to ensure only approved users may join the Zoom meeting. 

Registration requirement can be enabled when scheduling a meeting through the Zoom navigation link in a Canvas course. However, this feature is only available when a new meeting ID is created. It cannot be applied to a personal meeting ID (PMI).

**The Zoom navigation link needs to be visible in the Canvas course’s left, Course Navigation menu prior to starting these steps. Please see resources below on adding navigation links.**

**The registration feature is not available when scheduling through the Zoom desktop.**
