bCourses Zoom Integration
All bCourses course sites have a Zoom integration that can be enabled. The integration allows instructors to:
- Schedule meetings
- Start meetings
- View upcoming meetings
- View previous meetings and recordings
Students cannot access the integration, but meetings scheduled using the integration will appear to students in their bCourses calendar, where students can join.
Enabling the integration:
This integration is disabled by default. To enable it, go to your course settings page, select the navigation tab, find the Zoom menu option and click the three vertical dot icon (1) select enable (2) and then save (3).
Using the Integration /Scheduling a Meeting
Scheduling a meeting within the integration has the same interface as scheduling a meeting directly through berkeley.zoom.us
Meeting scheduled through the integration will automatically appear on student's calendars.
Common Errors
In order to use the Zoom integration, your primary email in bCourses must match your email address in Zoom. If you have a domain email address, such as oski@law.berkeley.edu and oski@berkeley.edu, your email addresses may not match, and you may encounter a "user not found" error. If this occurs, confirm your email address in Zoom:
From https://berkeley.zoom.us/profile find your sign-in email:
Next, find your primary email address in bCourses:
From https://bcourses.berkeley.edu/profile/settings
If your sign-in email does not match your starred email address in bCourses, add your zoom email address, confirm, and star it in bCourses to make it primary.
After updating your primary email address, you should be able to access the integration.
