Overview
We know many districts are rapidly transitioning to remote instruction, and we want to help.
Clever has partnered with Zoom to create a seamless way to provide account creation, as well as Single Sign-On (SSO) access for teachers, staff, and district admins.
How do I create a Zoom account?
Adding Zoom and creating accounts are managed at the district level. District administrators can find directions for adding the Zoom integration here.
If you do not see the Zoom app in your Portal, please contact your district help desk.
How do I log in to Zoom?
Step 1: Log in to the Clever Portal
Step 2: Click on the Zoom icon.
You are now logged in and will be directed to your Zoom profile!
How do I create a virtual meeting?
Step 1: Log in to the Clever Portal
Ste 2: Click on the Zoom application in the Clever Portal
Step 3: Click on "Schedule a Meeting"
Step 4. Enter the details for your meeting. If you would like to use the same meeting link for a recurring event (example: weekly team meeting), select "Recurring meeting"
Step 5. Select "Save". On the next screen, click "Copy the invitation".
Step 6. Send the invitation info to the event participants. This may be in an email, a calendar event's details, or a link in the Clever Portal!
Pro Tip:
Does your school use Google? You may be able to add the
Zoom Scheduler extension for Google Chrome.
This extension makes it easy to add a Zoom link to any calendar event in Google Calendar!
