Student-Initiated Zoom Sessions

Instructions

Step 1: Create your Zoom account

All Boise State faculty, students and staff are granted a free Zoom account. Simply log into boisestate.zoom.us, and your account will be automatically provisioned.

Step 2: Schedule the Meeting

After you have your account configured, you can schedule a meeting from the home page:

Give the meeting a name and date/time. If it’s a regular meeting, click the recurring meeting check box.

Step 3: Copy the URL

After saving your meeting, it will create a unique meeting ID and link (boisestate.zoom.us/j/, followed by a string of 9 or 10 numbers, such as https://boisestate.zoom.us/j/999999999). Copy the URL and share it with your group.

Step 4: Recording the meeting (optional)

If the instructor requires recordings of student meetings, the host/scheduler of the meeting has the ability to locally record. They can do so by pressing the button in the bottom right:

Step 5: Uploading the recording (optional)

After the meeting ends, the Zoom recording will automatically save on the host’s computer. The student can then go to boisestate.techsmithrelay.com and log in. This will automatically provision a Techsmith account for them. From there, they can click "Create", then "Upload Media". Choose the .mp4 file generated by Zoom and it will start to upload.

Step 6: Sharing the recording (optional)

The last step is for the student to grab the Techsmith URL. They can share this with the instructor:
