When scheduling a Zoom meeting in the Zoom portal, you can add a student, instructor, or staff member as an “Alternative Host” to allow them to start the Zoom meeting for you (in case you’re running late, for example). A co-host can be assigned during the Zoom meeting from the “Manage Participants” tab. This allows faculty and instructors to focus on teaching and learning and the co-host can moderate technical aspects of the Zoom meeting. We also recommend assigning a co-host as soon as your Zoom meeting (class) begins.

We recommend faculty and instructors use the Zoom Blackboard LTI in your Blackboard course shell to schedule Zoom meetings. Students should sign in to Zoom before joining a Zoom meeting via Blackboard.

Did you get stuck in a waiting room trying to join a meeting? Or did you click into a meeting as a host but didn’t have host controls? Many of us experienced a new feature in Zoom last week: the waiting room.
