FACULTY: How to create a single Zoom link to share between multiple class sections.

This video demonstrates how to create a single zoom link for us in multiple blackboard course sections:

Follow these simple steps to set up one Zoom meeting for multiple class sections:

1. Sign In to Zoom:

   • Go to bridgew.zoom.us and click on the Sign In button.
   • Log in using your Bridgewater State Single Sign-On (SSO) credentials.

2. Schedule a Zoom Meeting:

   • Click the Schedule button in the top right corner.
   • Configure the meeting settings as needed. For a meeting that's always available, select Recurring Meeting and choose No Fixed Time from the drop-down menu.
   • Click Save at the bottom to save your meeting.
3. Next step, share the meeting with your participants following the next set of instructions.

There are a few ways you can share this link with your students across multiple courses:

1. Share the Meeting Link:

   • Copy the Invite Link URL provided.
   • Share the link with your students. The easiest way is to add it as a web link in all relevant Blackboard courses.

2. Add the Link to Blackboard:

• To add the Zoom link in your Blackboard Ultra course, go to the Content tab of the course site.
• Hover and click the plus sign (+) where you want to add the link.
• Select "Create" from the pop-up menu that appears.
• Choose Link from the menu.
• Enter a Display Nam for the web link (students will see this).
• Paste the Zoom Invite Link in the Link URL field.
• Click Save
• Repeat these steps in any additional courses that need access to the Zoom meeting.

1. Alternate Sharing Options:

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

This method is ideal for office hours, special guest speakers, or combined meetings, etc. To follow these steps, be sure you go to https://bridgew.zoom.us/ and log in with your BSU credentials before setting up your meeting.
