Step 4: Scheduling a Meeting

Launching) Scheduled Meetings via Blackboard
When instructors log into Zoom via Blackboard, they see any meetings they have scheduled in Zoom, regardless of their association to the course. Use descriptive meeting titles to organize your meetings. This will not be an issue for most instructors, but may impact those who use Zoom for other functions, or teach more than one section with Zoom.
Currently, if a secondary instructor is assigned to the course, they will not see any meetings scheduled by their co-instructors. This can be worked around by providing secondary instructors with the meeting ID for scheduled meetings.
When students log into Zoom via Blackboard, they see only the meetings scheduled for that course, regardless of instructor.
Step 6 (Optional): Adding a Left-hand Navigation Course Link
Some instructors may wish to have a link to all Zoom sessions on the left-hand of their Blackboard course, rather than within a content area. To create this, after creating the initial Zoom link, navigate to the small plus symbol in the top left corner. This will bring up a drop down menu. Choose the "Course Link" option:
Next to Location, click on "Browse", then find the name of the tool placement you created in your content area. In this case, it was "Test" under Course Content:
Give it a name, and make it available to users. Students will be directed straight to the Zoom tool in one click, rather than three.
