Both you and your students must activate your Zoom account in the UAlbany campus license.  This will enable you to seamlessly connect to Zoom class meetings and recordings and allow students to easily log in to your classes.

...

Streamline the workflow to schedule and access class meetings and recordings in one place inside your Brightspace course.  No need to re-post links to meetings or recordings.  Control access, maximize security and privacy, and provide your students with an easy and consistent path to attend class.  With the Zoom tool in your Brightspace course, you need only to schedule your class meetings, and recordings will be automatically available for viewing once they are processed. 

  • Add the Zoom tool to your Brightspace Course

  • Schedule Zoom Class Meetings
    Be sure to schedule your meetings using the Zoom tool in Brightspace Because the Zoom tool connects your Zoom account to your Brightspace account, you can import meetings that you've scheduled outside of Brightspace, if necessary. 

  • Students Activate their UAlbany Zoom Account
    Instruct students to activate their Zoom account and to always log in to your class meetings through your Brightspace course (add verbiage to your syllabus in your Brightspace course).
  • Join Zoom Class Meetings
    Always join the meeting through Brightspace to ensure that you have full control and access to the meeting tools that you need to manage student engagement during your class.

  • See How Students will Join Meetings
    Students must login to their UAlbany Zoom account in order to join meetings.  We recommend that students first log in to Zoom prior to clicking the link to join a meeting.  Note, students log in to Zoom separately from Brightspace.

  • Controls for Managing Participants
    Microphone and camera availability, remove a participant, and other options are available here.
  • Remove someone from your meeting
    Remove a participant if they do not belong or are causing disruption.
  • Place someone in your meeting On Hold
