Fully Transfer Meeting Ownership
Updated onArticleAssigning alternative hosts to a scheduled Zoom meeting--or enabling a co-host--allows the meeting's creator to share hosting duties and meeting controls with other licensed Zoom users. This is ideal for guest lectures, substitute instruction, or sessions where more than one person is needed to help with large audiences such as a conference/training session or all-college meeting.
However, there may be times when a user will need to assume full ownership of another user's meeting (or series of recurring meetings) due to unforeseen circumstances. This guide will show you how to transfer full ownership of a Zoom meeting from one licensed user to another.

BioSig-ID Interface Update: Fall 2020
Updated onArticleIn order to prepare for an upgrade to the Canvas environment later this fall, BioSig-ID recently updated its application integration to direct students to a new URL to authenticate the user's identity.

Instructors may use this guide to check and upgrade each of their existing BioSig-ID assignments prior to student submissions.

Cross-listing & Re-cross-listing
Updated onArticleCross-listing (also known as co-listing or linking) is used in Canvas to combine the enrollments (students) from two or more courses into a single Canvas course shell. Cross-listing is typically used in the following scenarios:
- The same course is taught under different names for different degrees (typical in Computer Science - for example, "Programming fundamentals I" is ITSE-1302 and COSC-1336), but the content is the same.
- There are two (or more) levels of a subject (such as Latin Cardio Dance I and II), and students are combined to meet enrollment quotas.
- An academic course has a CE equivalent with the same or similar content.
- A teacher has multiple sections of the same course (ENGL-1302-001, ENGL-1302-002), and chooses to combine them to streamline workflow.

Optimize recordings for 3rd party video editing
Updated onArticleZoom allows users to download their video recordings and upload them to other cloud-hosting platforms such as Canvas, Mediasite, OneDrive, YouTube, etc.
However, there have been instances where an error or low quality streaming may occur when uploading or editing video (MP4) files on 3rd party sites. This is where enabling the "Optimize the recording for 3rd party video editor" feature might come in handy.
