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 checkbox.
Boise State students, faculty and staff are provisioned with fully licensed ZOOM accounts. No time limit on meetings and up to 300 participants. Faculty members using ZOOM in conjunction with their Blackboard course can request cloud recording of their hosted meetings.
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.hosted.panopto.com and log in. This will automatically provision a Panopto 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 copy the Panopto URL associated with their recording. Make sure to adjust the sharing permissions to allow sharing to your prospective audience.
