Zoom: How to ensure you're the host in your Zoom meetings and signed-in as the intended Zoom user

We recommend using the Zoom meeting activity in Moodle to create a Zoom meeting for your course. Refer to Zoom: How to add a Zoom meeting with the Zoom Meeting activity for more information. Using the Zoom meeting activity, if you join your Zoom meeting using the 'Start meeting' button you will automatically be the host.


This short video will show you how to ensure that you're the host in your Zoom meetings, including how to use the Zoom host key. This will also ensure that you join meetings as the intended Zoom user.
