Overview

You can invite guests to join your Zoom sessions at any time. Your guests do not need to have a SPU Zoom account or a SPU Canvas account to join your meeting. They also do not need to be enrolled in your Canvas course.

Every scheduled Zoom session / series has a unique meeting ID number. You simply need to share the unique meeting ID link / phone number with the user and they will be able to use that to join your session.

We recommend that you share with your guest(s) the full invitation and not just the URL link for your Zoom session. If a guest has unstable internet or problems with their computer audio, they can use the Zoom phone number and Meeting ID provided in the full invitation details to join via phone.
