Instructors can create a Zoom meeting to use as virtual office hours and place the link in one or more iLearn courses. If the intention is to create the meeting to share for multiple classes, it's best to create the meeting on the Zoom website itself.

Create the meeting

1. Navigate to https://sfsu.zoom.us/signin and log in with your campus credentials
2. Select Meetings in the navigation bar on the left
   
3. Select Schedule a meeting
4. Fill in the meeting details. It is suggested that the name of the meeting be Office Hours so both you and your students know that this meeting is for office hours. Mark the Recurring meeting checkbox. It is suggested to have no fixed time.
   

   Note: It is recommended that you enable authentication for your office hours meetings to ensure that your student's name appears when they join and to ensure that only authorized SF State participants can join. You can read more about securing your Zoom meetings in the best practices for Zoom security support document.

5. Save your meeting

Share the meeting in iLearn

You will use the meeting link provided by Zoom and the URL tool in iLearn.

3. Turn editing on by selecting the gear wheel in the upper right corner of the course page and choosing Turn editing on
4. In the location you want to add the link, select Add an activity or resource button
   

   Note: It is recommended to add the link to office hours in Section 0 of the course so that students will always have it available right at the top of the page.
