Student guide to Zoom and Microsoft Teams

Joining a Zoom meeting

You may receive an invitation to a Zoom meeting for your remote synchronous classes. This could be linked from Canvas or may be sent to your RVCC email. If your professor tells you there will be a Zoom meeting but you do not know how to access it, please speak with them before contacting technical support.

  • To attend virtual classes in Zoom, you will receive a virtual meeting invitation from your professor. This may be linked in Canvas or sent to your email.
  • If it is sent as an invitation in Outlook email (your RVCC email account), it will be saved in your calendar, where you should go to access the link before the class is scheduled to begin. Your Outlook calendar is the second icon on the bottom left of the page.
