How Do I Use Zoom for My Meeting?

Roundtables, Boardrooms, and One-on-Ones are small-group video meetings enabling participants to connect with other attendees, speakers, and sponsors.

This article explains how to use Zoom as the meeting provider for your Roundtables and Boardrooms. There are two ways you can create a Zoom meeting:

1. Use a Zoom meeting link.
2. Connect your Zoom account to Social27.

 Tip: If you are creating Zoom meetings using an account other than your own, or you just don't want to integrate your Zoom account with Social27, use method 1.

Using a Zoom Link

Check out the video below to see how to create a Roundtable or Boardroom using a Zoom link.

These instructions are written (with screenshots) below the video as well.

To use Zoom to power your meeting, open Zoom and click Schedule a Meeting. Enter the name, date, time, and time zone for the meeting.

 Note: This information should match the date, time, and time zone in which you want your Social27 meeting to take place.

Click Save and copy the Zoom invite link to your computer's clipboard.

Open the event site and navigate to the Roundtables page. Click Create Meeting. Select Other as the meeting provider.

Paste your Zoom link into the Meeting Link field at the top of the screen.

Complete the rest of the meeting information, including the date, time, and time zone (which should match what you entered in the Zoom meeting). Once you've entered all meeting information and invited your attendees, click Create Roundtable.

Connecting Your Zoom Account to Social27

If you would prefer to connect your Zoom account directly to your Social27 account, you do not need to create an external meeting in Zoom. Instead, you can log in to the event site and select Zoom on the Meeting Provider screen.

If you select Zoom, you will be taken to a Zoom sign-in page. Once you sign in, you will be asked to approve the connection to your Zoom account. Click Authorize at the bottom of the screen. You will then be routed back to Social27’s New meeting page, which will now show that your meeting is powered by Zoom.

After you have connected your account, you can create the meeting in Social27 and invite attendees, all without leaving the Social27 event site.

 Note: Your meeting duration and allowed number of attendees will be dependent upon your Zoom plan.

2. Click Manage > Installed Apps or search for the Social27 app.
