If you are having difficulty entering a teacher's Zoom room, you should progress through the following Checklist Steps:
STEP 1: If Zoom is not launching you may not have Zoom installed on your computer. Follow our guide to install Zoom and make sure zoom is updated HERE
STEP 2: Double-check you have the correct link and date/time. The Zoom room link and class schedule will be on the Canvas Homepage for your course as well as listed on the PALCS School Lobby.
- Each teacher has their own Zoom room which a specific web address (url).
- Many teachers have more than one Zoom room.
- Also many PALCS Teachers have strict start and end times for Virtual Classroom sessions. Sometimes Virtual Classrooms are locked 5 minutes after their start time.
STEP 3: Contact the teacher and make sure you have the correct link. The best method is to send your teacher a message through Canvas.
STEP 4: Review our Zoom support articles which have several tutorials and guides on using Zoom.
