Schedule a Zoom Meeting
from a D2L Course

HOW TO SCHEDULE A ZOOM MEETING FROM A COURSE IN D2L

1. If you haven't already, Add Zoom to your course in D2L.
   
   
2. After Zoom is added to your course, select the Zoom link (in the course navbar or content module) to open Zoom within your course.
   
   
3. Select "Schedule a New Meeting".
   
   
   
4. Enter the topic, date, time, duration and select any desired settings or meeting options.
   (For more information about each setting, view the list of Zoom Meeting Options.)
   
   
5. When you are done setting all of the meeting options, select "Save".
   
   
6. You will then see the meeting information page. This page will show you the settings applied to the meeting. From this screen, you can delete, edit, or start the meeting. You can copy the "Join URL" or "Copy the invitation" if you need to invite someone not enrolled in your course.   You do not need to email or post the join URL link for students enrolled in your course.  In addition to listing the meeting in the "Upcoming Meetings" tab on the Zoom page, D2L will automatically generate a calendar event for your Zoom meeting and put it in your D2L Course Calendar.  Students can join the meeting from Zoom in your course or from the Calendar.
