Scheduling Zoom Meetings for Your Course<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introduction<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zoom, CUNY\u2019s web-conferencing tool, has been integrated into Brightspace. This integration allows instructors to schedule meetings directly inside a course site. In addition, the meetings will appear on the Brightspace calendar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The integration works with a CUNY-licensed Zoom account only. Follow these instructions<\/a> to configure your CUNY Zoom account and integrate the Zoom Portal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have scheduled a meeting with Zoom before then the following steps will look familiar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting Started: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From within a course’s Zoom Portal, select Schedule a New Meeting<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

By default, the Topic<\/strong> (or name of the Zoom meeting) will be your course ID. Feel free to change it or leave it as is.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Enter the date, time, and duration of your meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can schedule a recurring meeting for your course, by ticking the Recurring meeting<\/strong> box. Here you can choose your meeting recurrence preference: Daily<\/strong>, Weekly<\/strong>, Monthly<\/strong>, or No Fixed Time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Review the remaining Meeting Options<\/strong> and select the ones best suited for your course meeting.  <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

When complete, be sure to select Save<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

You will now see the meeting details. In this example, you will see a Class Meeting that’s recurring every two weeks on Wednesdays. You will also see the meeting Passcode<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTE<\/span><\/strong>: You must share the Zoom meeting passcode with the students, as they will be prompted to enter the passcode when joining the Zoom meetings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can update the description of the Zoom Portal to include information about the External Learning Tool topic, including the meeting passcode. Click on the Zoom – SPS<\/strong> caret<\/strong> followed by Edit Properties in Place<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Click on the Zoom – SPS LTI 1.1<\/strong> text to update the description. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Enter the desired text in the description and click Update<\/strong> when done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now when you access the Zoom Portal, you will see the scheduled meeting(s) under the Upcoming Meetings<\/strong> tab. To launch a Zoom meeting, select the Start<\/strong> button. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
