Share the Meeting Link:

There are a few ways to share this Zoom link with students across multiple courses:

  8. Click Save.

Repeat these steps for any additional courses that need access to the same meeting.

Alternate Sharing Options:

You can also email the Invite Link URL or meeting invitation directly to students and guests.

This method is ideal for:

  • Office hours

  • Special guest speakers

  • Combined sections or multi-class meetings

Just make sure to log in at https://bridgew.zoom.us with your BSU credentials before setting up the meeting.
