How do I administer Zoom in my course?
Updated onArticleThis guide provides an overview of how to manage Zoom in your Quercus course, starting from deciding whether Zoom is right for you and ending with sharing (and archiving) your recordings. To access and use Zoom, login to the UofT Zoom Portal.
Zoom is not integrated into Quercus and it requires more administrative overhead and planning to use effectively. For example, you will need to schedule and share Zoom sessions to Quercus and for each session that is recorded, you'll need to upload the recording to a video hosting service (see how to select a video hosting/streaming service).
