bCourses Zoom Integration

All bCourses course sites have a Zoom integration that can be enabled. The integration allows instructors to:

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).

enable zoom from course navigation

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

Meetings scheduled through the integration will automatically appear on student's calendars, and also send a notification message to the student's inbox.

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

Students can join a Zoom meeting scheduled using the integration:

  1. Through the Zoom menu item in the course navigation
  2. Via the event on their bCourses calendar
  3. 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.

Limitations

The bCourses-Zoom integration uses email address as an identifier. If a user does not have an @berkeley.edu email address, they will not be able to access the integration. Keep this in mind, as Calnet Sponsored Guests will need to be granted separate access.
