How to add Zoom meetings to your Blackboard course

Modified on Thu, 20 Feb at 10:30 AM

With the Zoom Meeting LTI, you can add a scheduled Zoom meeting to any Content Area in your course. 


Tips:

  • If you don't have a TCC Zoom account, please let us know.
  • When you visit Zoom through the LTI, the only Zoom meetings you will see will be the ones for that specific class. The meetings you schedule through the LTI will also show up in your TCC Zoom account, either in a browser or in the desktop app.

In any Content Area, click the plus sign on the left, and then choose Content Market. 



Scroll to find Zoom Meetings, and click the plus sign to add the Zoom LTI to your course.
