Remote learning with ClassBug & Zoom
Instructions and Best Practices

ClassBug has integrated with the Zoom video streaming platform!

Zoom has quickly become the most reliable way to meet online. Their platform is robust and easy to use, and they provide an intuitive way to stream live video to multiple participants. Zoom technology is perfect for offering remote classes online, and now you can offer any one of your classes as an online video stream by creating and managing your Zoom meetings via ClassBug.

Instructions

Connect your ClassBug account to your Zoom account

• On your ClassBug dashboard, you should see a button "Connect to Zoom"
  
• Clicking that button will take you to the Zoom site
• Existing Zoom Users: simply login to your Zoom account. The two platforms will connect automatically and you will be redirected back to ClassBug after you agree to allow access.
• New Zoom Users: you will need to create a Zoom account by clicking the "Sign-up Free" link. Once your Zoom account has been created, you may need to return to ClassBug and click the "Connet to Zoom" button again to ensure the connection.
