UB Learns and Zoom
Zoom is an easy-to-use, video communication platform that includes video conferencing, recording, phone, chat and screen sharing. Zoom is available to all UB students, faculty and staff.
Security Settings for Zoom
Requiring a password to join any meeting or session is strongly recommended, especially if the meeting or session is advertised publicly or widely, or where large numbers of attendees are invited or anticipated.
If using Zoom for teaching and intended only for student use, it is recommended that meeting hosts only share session or meetings links through the class session itself in UB Learns or though MyUB.
Enable Zoom Meeting in a Course
- Open a course.
- Hover over the + icon at the top of the Course menu and click Tool Link.
- In the Add Tool Link dialog box, fill in the following fields:
- Name: Zoom Meeting Link.
- Type (dropdown menu): Zoom Meeting.

Before you can host a meeting with Zoom, you must have the Zoom Desktop Client software installed on your computer or device.
