When clicking on Zoom for the first time, instructors may see an error message that indicates an invalid email address.
To connect your Canvas account to Zoom, your email address in Canvas must be in the format of netid@rutgers.edu, e.g., hr134@rutgers.edu. Email address with the format netid@domain.rutgers.edu (hr134@oit.rutgers.edu) and firstname.lastname@rutgers.edu (henry.rutgers@rutgers.edu) will cause this error. Zoom accounts are created as netid@rutgers.edu.
To change your default email address, you must first add another email address as a contact method; then you can change your default email address in Canvas.
