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
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.
Note that only meetings scheduled via the integration (or manually imported into it) will appear there. To view all of your meetings, log in to berkeley.zoom.us
Student Access
An updated Zoom bCourses integration was released in August 2020 that is visible to students (the older version of the integration was only visible to instructors).
Students can join a Zoom meeting scheduled using the integration:
- Through the Zoom menu item in the course navigation
- Via the event on their bCourses calendar
- Via the link included in the email notification that is sent at the time that a meeting is scheduled
Importing Meetings
If you've scheduled a meeting outside of the integration and would like to make it visible to your students, you can use the Import Meeting function.
To import a meeting, select the three vertical dot menu in the top-right corner of the integration, select "import meeting" and paste the meeting ID.
