Zoom is fully integrated into Brightspace allowing you to create and manage meeting links directly within your course.

Adding the Zoom integration allows you to see a Zoom dashboard inside your course where you’ll be able to schedule meetings, manage existing meetings, retrieve recordings, and customize your links.
