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*
- *Note that recordings stored in Zoom are temporary and will be automatically deleted per campus policy. For long-term storage of zoom recordings, we recommend using Kaltura: How can I share my Zoom Recordings in bCourses using Kaltura?
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
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:
- 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.
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.
