Pre-Assigning Breakout Rooms for Zoom in Canvas

Environment

U-M Zoom, Zoom LTI in Canvas

Issue

How can I pre-assign breakout rooms in Zoom through Canvas?

Resolution

Some features require Zoom LTI 1.3 in Canvas. Zoom LTI 1.3 can be utilized by adding "Zoom 1.3" to your course navigation. This can replace the "Zoom" option if you would like to avoid confusion.

In Canvas, there are a few ways to pre-assign Zoom breakout rooms:

• Import a CSV
• Use the built-in assignment tool to create rooms and assign students (Auto-import of course roster only available for Zoom LTI 1.3)
• Import course groups (Only available for Zoom LTI 1.3)
  • Learn how to create a course group in Canvas.
  • Each group will populate its own breakout room with the students in that group assigned to the breakout room.
