Zoom Meeting
Zoom meetings can be integrated and used in two different ways: Zoom meeting activity and Zoom Meeting LTI (External tool). The Zoom Meeting activity is the simpler one compared to Zoom Meeting LTI. The Zoom LTI on the other hand gives more options to the user such as accessing pre-recorded meetings and creating personal meetings. Both options are explained below.
