The Zoom/Blackboard connection allows an instructor to manage class meetings and office hours from Blackboard.

The Zoom integration allows instructors to schedule their class sessions directly in Blackboard Ultra. Students will be able to join the class sessions from Blackboard Ultra, meaning they will only need to access one location for all course content.

1. Open your Blackboard Ultra Course.
2. In the middle of the page select the + icon to add content, then s​​elect Content Market.
3. Scroll down until you locate Zoom, then select the + icon.
4. Zoom should appear in your course as the first item on the Content page.
