Posting and Emailing Zoom Links

Use a different meeting link for each section you teach.

This will prevent students who are joining your next class from interrupting the end of your current class.
This will also make it easier to keep class recordings separate.

See these instructions for creating Zoom meetings.

If you use a Links widget that is shared between multiple sections of a course, a Zoom link added to the widget will appear in all sections.

Instead, add the link to a text box on the Bulletin Board. Text boxes are not shared between sections.

To add the link to the LMS Bulletin Board page:

go to the page and click Enter Edit Mode
edit the text box where the link will go
add the appropriate text
click the three-dots button to expand the edit menu
click the link icon
If you followed the instructions in Create Zoom Meetings, you copied the meeting invitation to the clipboard. You need only two lines from that invitation when you post it in the LMS: the web link and the passcode.

paste the meeting URLinto the URL field
- paste ONLY the meeting URL from the invitation into the URL field
- add the passcode to the text associated with the link

If you add the link to a text box, change the value of the Open link in... field to New window
- choosing New window will keep the LMS open in one tab or window while the Zoom meeting opens in another
Click Save
Add the meeting password as text below the meeting link

Next: Send email to all students in a section

To email the link to students in a section, you can use the Send Communications tool on the Roster page.

When you email the Zoom meeting information, you must include the meeting link and passcode:

Passcode: SSES
