Get setup for class
If you’re new to teaching with Zoom, it’s important to plan a little in advance. There are some important steps that take place before the meeting begins, and a few features also require advance planning to take advantage of. The instructions below will get you started. Before long, they’ll be second nature.
For classes, you'll schedule course meetings directly in Brightspace via the Zoom tool in the main horizontal menu at the top of the page.
Create a Zoom meeting in Brightspace
Create a Zoom meeting in Brightspace
In your selected Brightspace course site, select Zoom from the main menu.
Then click Schedule a New Meeting. Once you’re taken to the new window, be ready to enter information about the meeting. Below we’ll highlight a few areas to fill out.
Topic: Enter the title of your Zoom meeting here. This could be your course name or a specific event depending on the purpose of the meeting.
When/Duration: Enter when your Zoom meeting will be taking place and how long it will last. If you’re setting up your class Zoom meetings, select the box under Time Zone that says Recurring meeting.
Meeting options: Manage specific settings here if you want to create pre-assigned breakout rooms or mute participants upon entry to cut down on noise.
Alternative hosts: Alternative hosts can start the meeting too. Here you may want to enter the email address of a co-teacher or your teaching fellow if they’re expected to start your online class Zoom meeting.
Once you’re ready to share with students, click Save. While students are not notified once a Zoom meeting has been created, they are able to access Zoom meetings and links in their Brightspace course site through the Zoom tool.
To start the meeting: Go to the Zoom tool and select Start for the meeting you would like to begin. Students may also join this way or you can share the link.
To share the link with students: Go to the Zoom tool and click into the meeting. Scroll down on the page and in the row listed Invite Attendees you can copy the link to then share with students.
If you’re interested in seeing your Zoom meetings in the Zoom tool, log in using SSO to https://nyu.zoom.us using your NYU ID and password. This will reflect any meetings you have created in Brightspace.
Attendance / Reports
Attendance / Reports
Find out who attended your class by using the Reports feature in Zoom.
After class has ended, you can review attendance in the Zoom web portal.
Sign into NYU Zoom. In the new web experience, click your profile picture or initials in the top-right corner, then My account.
In the side menu, select Reports, then Meetings & Webinars. Select the Usage reports tab if needed, then Meeting and webinar history.
Select the date range for your class and click Search. Find your meeting and click the number in the Participants column to see participant details. You can export the participant report as a CSV file.
If NYU Zoom still displays the legacy web interface, use Reports → Usage Reports → Usage to find the meeting instead.
Participant names reflect the identities students use in Zoom. Email addresses are available when participants are signed into a Zoom account. Ask students to sign into their NYU Zoom accounts before joining, and check the report against your course roster rather than assuming that joining through Brightspace guarantees a roster match.
