Add your Zoom class meetings to a Blackboard Course


  1. Add the Zoom tool link to your course menu (see video steps and written steps). 

 

  1. Click your new Zoom link in your course menu.

 

  1. If you have not already created meetings, click "Schedule Meeting". Enter your meeting details. Please note that scheduling a "Recurring Meeting" keeps the Zoom link the same all semester. Click "Save" and your meeting(s) will appear for your students. 

 

  1. If you have already scheduled your Zoom meetings but you do not see them inside your course after clicking your Zoom menu item, click "All My Zoom Meetings/Recordings" and take note of the Meeting ID number needed. Then click "Course Meetings/Recordings" to return to your course's Zoom home screen.
