2. Make sure Edit Mode in the upper right is set to ON.
3. Put your cursor on Build Content and select Web Link.
4. Enter a name, this becomes the link students will click.
5. Paste the Zoom meeting URL into the URL textbox.
6. Add instructions for students in the Description textbox. We recommend including the https://kansas.zoom.us/ link for students here.
7. Click Submit. The Web Link appears at the bottom of the content area page.
