📝 Overview
Running an online class? You can launch its Zoom meeting in a couple of clicks, straight from your calendar.
When you run online classes, your dashboard creates a Zoom meeting for each class automatically. This guide explains how to start that meeting when it is time to teach, what to do if the start button is not showing yet, and how attendance is recorded for the customers who join.
🎥 How to start your Zoom meeting
You start an online class from its class detail page. Log into your business account and head to Calendar ➜ click the class ➜ click 'Start Zoom meeting'.
If you have the Zoom app installed, the meeting opens in the app after a few seconds. If you do not have the app, you will be prompted to start the meeting in your browser.
⚠️ Running classes with more than one instructor? Each instructor needs to be logged into your Zoom account to start the meeting. If they are not logged in, they will not be able to start it. For other options, see how to create Zoom meetings for multiple instructors here.
💡 The Zoom meeting is created about 48 hours before the class starts, and your dashboard adds it to the class detail page automatically. If you cannot see the start button yet, do not worry, it will update on its own.
You can also log into Zoom directly and start the meeting from there.
✅ Do you need to check off attendance?
Customers who join a Zoom class are marked as "attended" automatically, so you and your instructors do not need to do this by hand.
One thing to keep in mind:
No-shows are not marked automatically. To record one, head to Calendar ➜ click the class ➜ mark the attendee as a "no-show".
