<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>

[[File:Enable service as online meeting redesigned.png|1200px|center|link=https://help.simplybook.me/images/e/ec/Enable_service_as_online_meeting_redesigned.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).
