Zoom Appointments

Zoom is the perfect tool to facilitate virtual (or online) office hours. Blackboard’s latest Zoom integration allows you to create and manage Zoom appointments right from your course.

Click the Zoom Pro link to launch the tool.
Select the Appointments tab on the top of the page.
Choose Create Schedule
Configure your appointment schedule.
Enter the details for the Zoom appointment, including the day(s) of availability, duration, name, and description. Once the details are entered, click Create.

Edit or Delete your appointment schedule.

The event will show up in the Zoom area under appointments. You can edit or delete it at any time.

Managing appointments

Once students schedule appointments, instructors will receive an email confirmation. All upcoming appointments can also be seen in the Zoom integration in Blackboard under the appointments and upcoming events tabs. Meetings can be started directly from here, but will also appear in the Zoom desktop app. Please Note: appointments will not automatically populate to your Outlook calendar and must be added manually.
