Tool Link

Only one placement of the Zoom tool is needed, as multiple meetings can be scheduled within it. To add a placement: 

• Navigate to your desired content area.
• Hover over the Build Content menu.
• Select Zoom LTI 
• Give it a name and click save.

Step 2 (Optional, but Recommended): 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

Give it a name, and make it available to users. You and your students will be directed straight to the Zoom tool in one click, rather than three.

1. Click the + icon in the upper left of the left-hand navigation menu in Blackboard

2. Click Add Tool Link

3. Enter a name for the link such as “Zoom Meetings”

4. Click the drop-down menu for Type and select Zoom LTI Tool

5. Check the box next to Available for Users

6. Click Submit

The Zoom tool link will now show up in the left-hand navigation menu. Drag and drop it to desired position in the menu.

Step 2: Logging into Zoom

To begin using Zoom, click the “Zoom Meetings” link you’ve just created.

3: Scheduling a Meeting

Once logged in and within the Zoom experience, click click Schedule a Meeting. You are given options for your meeting name, description, date/time, duration, and recurrence. LTS recommends leaving Registration turned off , both host and participant video defaulted to on, and muting participants upon entry. If you have alternate hosts, you can add their email addresses through this scheduler as well. Any instructors or learning assistants for your course set up through Blackboard will automatically be added as alternate hosts in Zoom meetings scheduled via the integration.

4: Viewing (and 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.

When students log into Instructors can toggle between All my Zoom meetings/recordings and Show only my course meetings. We recommend only viewing course meetings while using the Zoom + Blackboard integration. When students use Zoom via Blackboard, they see only the meetings scheduled for that course, regardless of instructor..

Instructors click Start to begin a Zoom meeting (be sure to be logged in to Zoom first via boisestate.zoom.us). Students click Join to join a Zoom meeting.

Step 5: Viewing Cloud Recordings

If the Zoom meeting is recorded to the Cloud, the recording can be accessed via the integration.

1. Click the “Zoom meetings” tool link

2. Click Cloud Recordings in the menu across the top of the Zoom integration screen
