=How to set Zoom as a meeting service=
 +
To connect to Zoom, you need a [https://zoom.us Zoom] account. Any contributor with Scheduling Administrator permissions can connect Simplybook.me to Zoom.<br>
 +
SimplyBook.me can only connect to a single Zoom account.

 +
* <span style="background-color:#ffe9e9; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">Zoom bookings will not be added to your Zoom meetings page at the Zoom end. To check online meetings please use filters per service in the Simplybook.me admin calendar to see bookings for the necessary service only.</span>
 +
* <span style="background-color:#ffe9e9; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">Even after Zoom account is connected, new services have video conferencing disabled by default. To add video conferencing to a new service, in Manage -> Services/[[Classes custom feature|Classes]], go to More options per service/[[Classes custom feature|class]] and enable it as an online meeting service.</span>
 +
* <span style="background-color:#ffe9e9; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">Clients attending a group class will receive unique Zoom links, but these links will all lead to the same Zoom meeting.</span>

 +
<br><br>
 +

After Zoom is authorized, click on <span style="background-color:#d4f8e5; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">Meeting Providers and Meeting Services</span> and choose providers that should be connected to Zoom by selecting Zoom option from the respective drop down.

 +
<br><br>
 +
5.  After your Zoom connection is set, the last thing you need to do is enable online meeting option for your services. To do that please navigate to <span style="background-color:#d4f8e5; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">Manage</span> -> <span style="background-color:#d4f8e5; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">Services</span> -> click on needed Service name -> scroll down to <span style="background-color:#d4f8e5; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">More options.</span>
 +
(in <span style="background-color:#d4f8e5; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">Manage</span> -> <span style="background-color:#d4f8e5; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">[[Classes custom feature|Classes]]</span> -> click on Class name -> <span style="background-color:#d4f8e5; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">More options</span> if you are using [[Classes custom feature|Classes]] feature) and switch on the option Enable as online meeting service/[[Classes custom feature|class]].
 +
[[File:More options path to online meetings.png|1200px|center|link=https://help.simplybook.me/images/2/27/More_options_path_to_online_meetings.png]]
 +
<br><br>
 +
6. When the clients book such a service/[[Classes custom feature|class]] there will be online meeting link on My bookings page for the associated booking. When the appointment time comes the clients will be able to follow it to access the meeting.
 +
For admin side it will be possible to follow the link from booking info popup form in <span style="background-color:#d4f8e5; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">Calendar</span> or in <span style="background-color:#d4f8e5; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">Reports</span> -> <span style="background-color:#d4f8e5; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">Booking details</span>, or in <span style="background-color:#d4f8e5; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">Reports</span> -> <span style="background-color:#d4f8e5; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">Online video meetings</span>.
 +
<br><br>
 +
7. (optional) As well you can add online meetings link to provider and client notification templates so that both sides receive them with the booking details.
 +
* To do that for your client notifications please navigate to <span style="background-color:#d4f8e5; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">Settings</span> -> <span style="background-color:#d4f8e5; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">Email and SMS settings</span> (or <span style="background-color:#d4f8e5; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">Custom features</span> -> <span style="background-color:#d4f8e5; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">[[Flexible Notifications custom feature|Flexible notifications]]</span> -> <span style="background-color:#d4f8e5; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">Manage</span> if you have customized notifications per service and/or provider) and edit your <span style="background-color:#d4f8e5; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">Client's booking confirmation</span> template to add ''[online_meeting_link]'' variable to send Zoom links to your clients.
 +
To make everything work simply paste ''[online_meeting_link]'' variable to the desired place in your "Client's booking confirmation template" so when a client books a service, a Zoom meeting link will be automatically generated at the place of a variable.
 +
<br><br>
 +
* To let your service providers receive Zoom links in their confirmations please add ''[online_meeting_provider_link]'' variable to your <span style="background-color:#d4f8e5; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">New booking confirmation for service providers</span> in <span style="background-color:#d4f8e5; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">Settings</span> -> <span style="background-color:#d4f8e5; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">Email and sms settings</span> (or <span style="background-color:#d4f8e5; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">Custom features</span> -> <span style="background-color:#d4f8e5; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">[[Flexible Notifications custom feature|Flexible notifications]]</span> -> <span style="background-color:#d4f8e5; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">Manage</span> if you have customized notifications per service and/or provider).
