The University of Wisconsin System has updated its Zoom settings to include the vanity Canvas URLs for all University of Wisconsin institutions (except for UW Madison) as "Associated Domains." This is intended to address a reported issue where users who reached a Canvas course via their campus's vanity URL (ex: http://uwmil.instructure.com/ or http://uwrvf.instructure.com/) and opened the Zoom integration would access a different Zoom meeting list than users who'd entered the same Canvas course via a generic Canvas URL (https://uws.instructure.com/ or https://uwsa.instructure.com/).
