If you have never used the Zoom interface before, Zoom has help online to guide you through the process (scroll to “Web”).

6. As the instructor you will see all your meetings in Zoom, students will only see the meetings created for that course through Zoom in Canvas.

Students can only see Zoom meetings scheduled for the Canvas course. As you can see from the screenshot, no additional meetings appear.
