This video shows you how to schedule a meeting through the Zoom website (canisius.zoom.us.) after logging in there. But the downloadable Zoom App for PC and Laptops, as well as the mobile app, also allow fast and easy meeting scheduling. If you use Outlook on your computer, and would like to send the invitation to participants via your email account that's in Outlook, you may choose that as your invitation option, and Zoom will have Outlook create a calendar event and invitation. If you'd like to send an invitation through your Canisius faculty/staff email via Outlook web application, another email address, or do not wish to create a calendar event, simply choose the option to copy the invitation to your clipboard, and paste it where appropriate.
