On May 25, 2024, ITS switched to a new version of Zoom integration available in Canvas. This new version enables some additional functionality related to, among other things, grading and more options for restricted access to recordings to Canvas site members.
During the upgrade process, the "Zoom Pro" menu item might have moved or reappeared in course navigation. You can move or remove it by editing your Course Navigation from a course's "Settings" menu; follow Instructure's guide to Manage Course Navigation Links
