Admin Chooses Default Video Conferencing Tool

Video Conferencing Tools to Choose From

CN Channel admins can select a default video conferencing tool for users of their institution. You can choose between:

• Zoom
• Microsoft Teams
• Google Meet

If a CN Channel admin chooses one of the above as the institution's default video conferencing tool, it will become the only option for ClassCast and it will remove the tools not selected from several other places. 

Choosing a Default Tool

As a CN Channel admin, go to your CN Channel and go to Settings & Controls,

Click the checkbox on "Choose default video conferencing tool" and then choose an option on the dropdown

In this example, Microsoft Teams has been selected and will be the only option available to users of this Institution in all institution courses.

Posts

However, if a different tool is chosen as the default video conferencing tool, the Zoom option will not appear.

ClassCast

The final place that is affected is ClassCast. Instructors are usually able to choose from the three different tools:

However, if a tool (Microsoft Teams, for example) is selected as the default tool by the admin, there will only be the selected tool for Channel members to use.
