If you have installed and configured the LTI Pro app on your Zoom account, you can now add Zoom as an LTI Tool in your LMS/VLE.

Adding the tool allows instructors to select it and then create/schedule Zoom meetings for their classes directly through their LMS course. If you have also configured the LTI Pro app for use with Echo360, those newly scheduled class meetings can be automatically published to the corresponding Echo360 section.

The below sections provide BRIEF instructions for creating the tool or app in each LMS/VLE. Use the instructions that apply to the LMS you are using. Essentially you want to create the tool in a way that allows instructors to select it from each of their courses. The steps are nearly identical to those used to create the Echo360 LTI tool for linking an LMS course to an Echo360 section.

As always, the procedures below are provided as a guide. Refer to your LMS/VLE documentation for further information if necessary.

Creating a Zoom LTI Pro App in Canvas

Unless removed from the navigation for courses, all Canvas apps appear in the left navigation. This makes them available for all users as needed.

Once the Zoom app is created, the Zoom link on the left in a course will allow the instructor to create and configure their course meetings, as well as start the meetings.  The same Zoom app link allows students to join the configured Zoom meetings, directly from the LMS course.

1. Log into Canvas as an administrator.
2. Click Admin from the navigation on the left, then select the main Account for your institution. In the figure below, the main account for Canvas is named Echo360.
