Parent Observer - Zoom tab access

MirandaDilbert

Hi Canvas community,

I have a question about Parent Observer accounts as a Canvas admin.  We have the Zoom tab visible on the side navigation for all of our courses.  We also have a homepage that links teachers/students to the Zoom tab.  How do I remove the Zoom tab accessibility for Parent Observers so they cannot join Zoom classes?  Screenshots of how to edit are very much appreciated.

Hi @MirandaDilbert,

From what I know, the parameters that Zoom looks for (things like the user's role in the course) is set by the developer (Zoom). This is something that they might be able to adjust for your particular installation. Something else to consider would be limiting participants to authenticated users. I have seen this option in Zoom settings, though I do not know for sure if it's in all instances of Zoom. It may depend on your subscription tier. This would prevent users who are not logged in through an account in your domain from joining the meeting.
