Zoom For Use With D2L

Learn how to access Zoom for use within D2L (aka Brightspace, LMS).

You can use Zoom meetings strictly with a D2L course when you just want those that are enrolled in your course to be attending the meetings.

Note: If you have created a free Zoom account in the past using your augusta.edu email you will need to visit zoom.augusta.edu, click Sign In, and log in using your NetID and password. You will be asked if you want to move your current account into the AU Zoom account. Agree to the account move prior to your first use of Zoom in D2L for classes or you may not be able to use the tool correctly. If you have never had a Zoom account in the past then you can ignore this note.

1. Within an internet browser, go to D2L and log in with your AU NetID and password.
2. Access your D2L course.
3. In the navigation bar click Zoom.
4. If you have not created your AU Zoom account through the Zoom Web Portal and this is the first time accessing the Zoom link through AU Tools within your D2L course you will need to authenticate your account. At the Zoom Authentication screen click Authenticate. This will create your AU Zoom account. After authenticating your account, this screen will no longer appear in the future when you click the Zoom link.
   
   
5. It will ask if you would like for the Zoom Calendar to operate using your account. Click the Accept button. This screen also will not appear again after your selection so make sure you click Accept. If you happen to click cancel on this message it will mean that your Zoom meetings that you schedule will not get auto-populated to the course calendar. The course calendar can provide a convenient way for you and your students to access your meeting links.
   
   
6. You will then be taken to the Zoom Integration home screen where you can see upcoming meetings, previous meetings, your personal meeting room, your cloud recordings, as well as a button for scheduling a new meeting.

Share Zoom Meeting From Within D2L

Learn how to share Zoom meeting information from within D2L.

Once you have created and scheduled your meeting your students enrolled in your course will be able to find information about the meeting through the Calendar widget on your D2L course homepage. If for some reason you turned off the Calendar widget for your D2L course we strongly recommend you add that widget back to your course homepage as this is how students will mainly see and access the Zoom meetings you create. Also, your students will be able to go to the Zoom link in your course and see and join scheduled meetings for your course. Here is an example of what your students will see in the Calendar widget when a Zoom meeting for their course has been added.

When you or the student clicks on that event in the calendar, they will be taken to a screen that will have a link to the actual Zoom meeting. This is how your students can join the meeting. NOTE: If you are the instructor and creator of the meeting this is NOT where you can start the meeting and be the host of the meeting. Follow the instructions in section 5 for starting the meeting as the host.

Starting a Zoom Meeting as Host from within D2L

Learn how to start a Zoom meeting as the host from within D2L.

In D2L, if you are the creator and host of a meeting you will need to start the meeting from the D2L Zoom integration home screen.

1. Access the Zoom Integration home screen for instructors by going into a D2L course and click on Zoom.
2. Once at this home screen you will see a listing of all your upcoming meetings. Find the meeting you want to start and click the Start button for that particular meeting. This is also where you can delete a meeting you have created. Just find the meeting you want to delete and click the Delete button for that particular meeting.

Install Zoom App

Audio Conference Options

Once the Zoom app is installed on your computer it should launch the meeting. It will prompt you to choose which audio option you want to join the meeting with.

Join By Computer Audio

The default selected option is to join by Computer Audio. This option is always free and it works in the Zoom app for desktop as well as your smartphone mobile device app as well. You will just need a microphone (built-in, USB, or in-line) as well as speakers or headphones. If you want to test your microphone and speakers before joining you can click the link that says Test Computer Mic & Speakers. If you'll always join Zoom meetings via the Computer Audio then you can check the box to Automatically join audio by computer when joining a meeting. Once you are ready to join by computer audio you'll just click the Join Audio Conference by Computer button.

Join by Phone Call

The other audio option is to join via a Phone Call. You can join a Zoom meeting via teleconferencing/audio conferencing (using a traditional telephone). This is useful in occasions where:

• you do not have a microphone or speaker on your PC/Mac
• you do not have a smartphone (iOS or Android) while on the road, or
• you cannot connect to a network for video and VoIP/computer audio
  
  
  1. You can choose what country (from the drop-down menu) you are calling from and it will provide you toll numbers that you can dial. If you dial a toll number, your carrier rates will apply.
  2. You will then be prompted to enter the Meeting ID (9 or 10 digit number) provided to you by the host, followed by the # key.
  3. You will then be prompted to enter in your unique Participant ID. This only applies if you have joined on the computer or mobile device or are a panelist in a webinar. Press # key to skip.

Breakout Rooms

Learn the ins and outs of utilizing breakout rooms in Zoom.

For additional information visit Zoom's Support Page on "Managing Breakout Rooms".

Breakout rooms allow you to split your Zoom meeting in up to 50 separate sessions. The meeting host can choose to split the participants of the meeting into these smaller groups automatically or manually, and can switch between session at any time. Breakout room participants have full audio, video and screen share capabilities. You can also pre-assign participants to breakout rooms when you schedule your meeting instead of doing it live during the meeting.

Limitations

• Only the host can assign participants to breakout rooms.
• Co-hosts can leave and join any breakout room only if they join a breakout room assigned to them by the host.
• Users joined into a Zoom meeting from the Zoom Mobile App can participate in breakout rooms, but cannot manage them.
• Users joined using Chromebooks/Chrome OS or Zoom Rooms are unable to join breakout rooms, but the main meeting room can be used as an alternative space for these users.
• If the meeting is being cloud recorded, it will only record the main room, regardless of what room the meeting host is in. If local recording is being used, it will record the room the participant who is recording is in. Multiple participants can record locally.
• You can create up to 100 breakout rooms with up to 1000 participants in each room.

Learn how to create and manage breakout rooms during a meeting.

The instructions below will walk you through how to create breakout rooms while you are within a Zoom meeting.

For more detail and further instructions, visit Zoom's support page on "Managing breakout rooms".

1. To create breakout rooms, click on the Breakout Rooms button in the meeting toolbar.
   
   
2. Select the number of rooms you would like to create, and how you would like to assign your participants to those rooms. Selecting Automatically will let Zoom split your participants up evenly into each of the rooms. Selecting Manually will allow you to choose which participants you would like in each room. If Let participants choose room is selected participants will be able to view and select from a list of breakout rooms the host has created. They will be able to enter and leave breakout rooms freely. When finished selecting one of those options, click Create Breakout Rooms.
3. If you choose for Zoom to automatically assign the participants to the room, that will occur instantaneously. If you choose to manually assign participants to the rooms you will now have to assign them to the rooms. To do so, select the Assign link next to the room you wish to assign participants to and select the checkbox next to each participant you wish to assign to that room.
4. Once you are finished assigning participants to the rooms and are ready to begin the breakout rooms, click the Open All Rooms button.

Pre-assign Breakout Rooms

Learn how to pre-assign breakout rooms ahead of your Zoom meeting.

If you want to assign your breakout rooms ahead of your meeting you can do that. Right now you can only do this from within the Zoom Web Portal. You cannot pre-assign breakout rooms from within your D2L course (AU Tools > Zoom). From within the web portal you will access your meeting and edit the meeting. You'll have two options after selecting the "Breakout Room pre-assign" feature for the meeting. You can create the breakout rooms and assignments manually by hand from within the web portal OR you can use a CSV file and import it to your meeting. For small classes doing it manually by hand is manageable but if you have classes of 50 or more this can be a tedious process of entering emails in one at a time.

For more detail and further instructions, visit Zoom's support page on Pre-assigning participants to breakout rooms.

Limitations

• You can only pre-assign participants that have a Zoom account (internal or external Zoom users). This means you can't add someone to a room if they don't have an existing Zoom account.
• When pre-assigning participants manually using the web portal, you can only pre-assign internal Zoom users that are in the same account (AU Zoom account users).
• To pre-assign participants that are external Zoom users (not in AU Zoom account), you will need to use the CSV file method.
• Up to 100 rooms can be created and you can assign up to 1000 participants (using either method, manual or CSV). Keep in mind regular Zoom meetings can only host up to 500 participants. If you need a larger meeting you will need to make that request to EMAIL@augusta.edu.
• If the meeting is being cloud recorded, it will only record the main room, regardless of what room the meeting host is in. If local recording is being used, it will record the room the participant who is recording is in. Multiple participants can record locally.

Note: If you are editing a recurring Zoom meeting and pre-assigning breakout rooms you need to make sure you choose "Edit All Occurrences" when it asks you what you want to edit. You cannot pre-assign breakout rooms to just ONE instance of a recurring meeting. It won't save your pre-assigned rooms if you choose "Edit this Occurrence".

Pre-assign participants to breakout rooms using the web portal (manual process)

1. Sign in to the Zoom web portal.
2. Select Meetings on the left-hand side.

You can only add internal AU Zoom users here. To pre-assign participants that are outside our AU Zoom account you will need to import via a CSV file.
   1. (Optional) Use these options to edit your breakout rooms and participants:
      1. Click and drag a participant's email address to change the order.
      2. Hover over a participant's name to see options to move them to another room or remove them from the current room.
      3. To delete a breakout room, hover your mouse over the room name in the left panel and click the trash bin icon.
8. Click Save to save your breakout room pre-assignments to your meeting.

Pre-assign participants to breakout rooms using a CSV file

For larger courses and to pre-assign users that are outside of our AU Zoom account you will want to use a CSV file. The steps below will walk you through downloading your course roster in D2L, downloading the CSV template file, formatting the CSV file, and applying it to your meeting.

Step 1 - Download D2L Course Roster

You'll need to gather a list of all of your student's email addresses that are in your course so to do this you will need to download/export your D2L course roster.

1. Within your D2L course select Grades in the navigation bar.
2. Select Enter Grades.
3. Select Export.
4. The only checkboxes on this page that you need to check appear under the User Details section. Place a checkmark in the following boxes (Last Name, First Name, Email). All other boxes on this page should be unchecked. You don't need to export any of the grade values or grade items.
5. Select Export to CSV.
6. Select Download when the file is ready. This will download the file to your computer. Open the file up in Microsoft Excel or another program that can open and edit CSV files. Keep this document handy as you will need it later.

Step 2 - Download CSV template file from Zoom

1. Sign in to the Zoom Web Portal.
2. Click Meetings on the left-hand side.
3. You can Schedule a New Meeting or select an existing meeting that is already scheduled.
   1. If you are selecting an existing meeting scroll down to the bottom of that meetings page and select Edit this Meeting.
4. In the Meeting Options section, select Breakout Room pre-assign and click Import from CSV
   
   
5. Click download to download a sample CSV file you can fill out.
   
   
6. Open the CSV file with spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel or something comparable.
7. Fill in the Pre-assign Room Name column with the breakout room name, and the Email Address column with the assigned participant's email address. You can copy/paste your student's email addresses from the course roster that you previously downloaded. Important: When assigning your AU students, make sure you use their "@augusta.edu" email address. Also, DO NOT alter the names of the column headers "Pre-assign Room Name and Email Address". These need to be left as is or else you will get errors when attempting to upload the file to your meeting.
   
   
8. Save the file in CSV format. DO NOT save it as a normal Excel file. It needs to specifically be in CSV format.
   
   
9. Drag and drop the CSV file or browse to find the CSV file on your computer to import it into your meeting within the web portal. Zoom will verify that the email addresses all have a Zoom account.
   
   
10. Zoom will verify that the email addresses all have a Zoom account. You should then see all of our breakout rooms in the left panel and when you click on each room you will see the students you have assigned to those rooms. Click Save.
    
    
    
    
11. Click Save again to save your meeting. Now, once you are within your meeting then you will click on the Breakout Room button in the Zoom toolbar to bring up your assigned breakout rooms and to then Open All Rooms. If some students don't happen to get pre-assigned properly then you can manually assign them prior to opening the rooms. Likely reasons why students don't get properly assigned to rooms is that they haven't  logged  into the Zoom application with their AU Zoom account therefore Zoom doesn't see their AU email address to properly put them in the assigned room. To properly login to the Zoom app students should sign in here first.

Starting a meeting with pre-assigned breakout rooms

1. Start the meeting that has the pre-assigned breakout rooms applied.
2. When all of your participants are present in the meeting, click Breakout Rooms in the meeting controls to access the breakout rooms you created. Those that are present in the meeting should get assigned properly to their rooms. If you open the Breakout Rooms button too early (i.e. when you immediately enter the meeting as the host) your students likely won't get assigned properly to your rooms. Only the students that are present in the meeting when you click Breakout Rooms will get assigned properly. Any student who joins the meeting after you have clicked that button they will not get properly assigned.
3. If a participant who comes in late is not assigned to the breakout room you specified you can click the Recreate button and choose Recover to pre-assigned rooms. This will recover the pre-assigned rooms and put everyone who is presently in the meeting in their appropriate breakout rooms.

    

Manually assign a participant who doesn't get assigned properly to their pre-assigned breakout room

If during your meeting you click on the breakout room button in the Zoom toolbar and click on the Open All Rooms button in the breakout room window and you find that a participant has not been assigned to a room you can manually assign them to a room.

1. Once you have opened up your breakout rooms if you see a category at the top of the breakout rooms window that says Unassigned it will show you what participants have not been assigned to a breakout room.
2. Hover your mouse over a participant's name and select the Assign To option and then select which room you want to assign to them.

Within Zoom, you may want to adjust the Settings for Cloud recordings:Recording to receive the correct format of recording that you desire. By default, your account likely will render the following types of recordings:

• Record active speaker with shared screen
• Record an audio only file

  If you leave all options selected, Zoom will send all of these formats to your folder. Zoom names all of the files the same so there is no way (other than viewing the recording) to distinguish which type of recording it is. So, it is best practice to choose only one recording version.

Note:

Meeting and Poll Reports

Learn how to access and export meeting and poll reports.

There are a few different types of reports that you can access regarding your Zoom meetings, a Meeting Report and a Poll Report. A meeting report will tell you who attended your meeting, what time they joined, what time they left, and for how long they were in your meeting. A poll report will show you the specific results of your polls that you run in your meeting and how each participant responded.
