Summary

For those wanting to schedule meetings within the LMS and launch unique meetings throughout the semester, Zoom’s LTI integration provides the most functionality. This page guides faculty on the steps to turning the integration on in a course shell and running through the steps for initial setup.


Instructions

Step 1: Adding a Placement

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

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

Step 2: Logging into Zoom

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

You may receive a message saying that you must sign into Zoom first. If so, click the link to sign in, then refresh.

Step 3: Scheduling a Meeting

Once logged in and within the Zoom experience, 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.

Step 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 Zoom via Blackboard, they see only the meetings scheduled for that course, regardless of instructor.

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. Students will be directed straight to the Zoom tool in one click, rather than three.
