How do I add a Zoom link to a Blackboard course?

Zoom is not integrated with Blackboard Learn, but a link to a Zoom meeting can be shared with students in Blackboard Learn. To get the link, start by logging into ua-edu.zoom.us.

If you do not have an account already, see OIT’s website for more information on Zoom and how to get an account.

Instructions

  1. From the Meetings page of the Zoom web portal, click on the topic of your meeting. If you have not created a meeting yet, see tutorials from Zoom support.

  2. This opens the details for your meeting. Under Invite Link you’ll see the link for your meeting. Highlight and copy the link.

  3. Log in to your course in Blackboard Learn and navigate to the Content Area in which you want to share your Zoom Meeting link.

  4. Click Build Content and select Web Link from the dropdown.
