Creating a Zoom Live Class

The video provides a comprehensive tutorial for teachers on how to create and manage live virtual classes using Zoom within their school management system. It walks through the entire process, from accessing the weekly schedule and configuring lesson details, to correctly starting the stream and officially closing it in both the Zoom app and the school platform.

2. Main Points:

* Accessing the system's weekly schedule to view assigned periods and subjects.

* Configuring lesson details such as title, date, duration, description, and camera permissions for both the host and the students.

* Verifying that the correct "Self API" is selected to ensure stable connectivity.

* Managing the status of the lesson (Pending, Started, Finished) directly from the platform's dashboard.

3. Practical Steps, Examples & Data:

* The system displays the specific period for each subject (e.g., Arabic is the 6th period on Monday).

* The standard class duration is set to 35 minutes.

* Creation Steps: Log in, navigate to "Live Zoom Classes", select a subject from the schedule, fill in the lesson metadata (title, date, description, video toggles), and click "Save".

* Crucial API Check: The user must ensure the API being used is the "Self API". If it shows "Global", they must contact technical support.

* Starting and Ending: To start, click "Start Meeting" from the platform, which launches Zoom. Once done, end the meeting in Zoom for all participants, then return to the platform to manually mark the class status as "Finished".

4. Actionable Plan:

* Log into your dashboard and navigate to the Live Classes section.

* Select your scheduled subject from the weekly timetable.

* Fill out the specific details for today's lesson (Topic, 35-minute duration, turn on host/student video, and add a brief description).

* Verify your API setting is on "Self API".

* Click "Start" on the platform to launch your Zoom meeting.

* After concluding the lesson, click "End for All" in Zoom, then return to the platform and update the class status to "Finished" to keep your records accurate.
