1. Get the panopto_folder_context code
2. Activate the new student worker Zoom account and create a new Zoom meeting
3. Add the Zoom link to the Canvas course.

Getting the Panopto Folder Context Code

To have the Zoom meeting automatically transferred to Panopto and made available in the course.  Panopto provides a unique code to link that system to the meeting.  This code can be found by following these steps.

This will need to be repeated for each course that requires a Zoom link.

   To have all recordings made available to all students automatically, enable Course Recordings.  To limit the videos to only the instructor and select students as needed, enable Archive Recordings (Faculty Access Only).
