Zoom offers multiple methods to schedule a meeting. A host has control over the options for their scheduled meetings except for settings that an administrator has locked for all users in the account or for all members of a specific group.
A host can schedule through any of the following methods:
The Zoom web portal (recommended)
The Zoom desktop client or mobile app
A Zoom plugin (available for Chrome, Outlook, and Firefox)
Through Blackboard if the ZOOM integration has been enabled (recommended for synchronous meetings with students)
Instructions
Log in to the Zoom web portal, client, plugin, or link in Blackboard
Click on the Schedule icon
Select the meeting settings. See Meeting Settings for more information on the options
