HIPPA Compliant Zoom Accounts and Blackboard
HIPPA Zoom accounts are not compatible with the Blackboard integration. To use a Syracuse University HIPPA Compliant Zoom account with Blackboard, an instructor should create a meeting using the normal Zoom methods either in the Zoom App or in the Zoom Web Portal and copy the link created by Zoom for the meeting. That meeting link can be added to a Blackboard Course either as a Web Link or within a text area by clicking the link icon in the toolbar.
