These instructions will explain how to create a quiz that requires LockDown Browser and allow the use of Zoom at the same time.

Note: students will be connecting to Zoom through the web browser and will not use their regular university credentials. In this case, the instructor will need to admit all students into the meeting since their credentials will not pass them through automatically.

Considerations for use:

1. The Zoom link cannot be made mandatory 
2. There is a captcha to complete that at times can be very difficult
3. Meeting settings need to be set exactly, or it won't work
4. Recording the meeting is possible

Instructor Setup:

1. Create a Zoom meeting and copy the invite link. The settings to use are shown below:
2. Create your quiz in Canvas.
   • The first question you add to the quiz should be of type Text (no question)
   • Insert your invite link from step 1 into this text field. It should look something like this: https://unh.zoom.us/j/123xxx789xx
   • Edit the invite URL. Make sure that you are editing the target link and not just the text.
   • Remove the /j from your invite URL and replace it with /wc/join. It should now look something like this: https://unh.zoom.us/wc/join/123xxx789xx
   • Finish creating your quiz as usual.
      
3. In your course, go to LockDown Browser. Click continue to LockDown Browser
4. Find the quiz you just created and click its chevron, then click Settings.
   • Click the radio button for Require Respondus LockDown Browser for this exam
   • Click the + button next to Advanced Settings.
   • Check the box for Allow access to specific external web domains
   • In the field that says Enter one or more web domains, separated by commas, enter "unh.zoom.us,zoom.us"
     • This will allow people taking the quiz to access unh.zoom.us links and zoom.us links.
   • Click Save and Close.

Completing a Quiz as a Student:

1. Launch LockDown Browser, access the quiz, and start taking the quiz.
2. The first question in the exam will have a Zoom link. Click this link.
3. A second tab will open.
4. Enter your name and click the checkbox for "I'm not a robot." Complete the captcha.
5. Click Sign in. You will be connected to the Zoom meeting.
6. Switch back to the quiz tab and take the quiz.

Student considerations:

• LockDown Browser is installed and working properly; see: https://td.usnh.edu/TDClient/60/Portal/KB/ArticleDet?ID=2210
• Setup by instructor and launch order by student were both correct
• Respondus is VERY sensitive to network drops, lags, and speeds
