1. What is Zoom meetings integration
The Zoom meetings integration facilitates the creation of a Zoom meeting along with a YAROOMS meeting and makes sure the Zoom meeting is kept up to date as the YAROOMS meeting is updated/cancelled.
This integration uses a single service account user in Zoom to create meetings, so a per-user Zoom connection is not needed.

3. How it works
If you are an end-user looking for information how to add a video conferencing link to your booking, read this article.
If Zoom meetings integration is activated, users will be able to add a video conferencing link when booking spaces (only the types you specified when setting up the integration):
Clicking the Zoom icon will create the meeting in Zoom with the same details as in YAROOMS and add the join details to the YAROOMS description field. The users will be able to see the join details - link and password - in their booking details and booking confirmation email.
The Zoom meeting is kept up to date with the YAROOMS meeting:
-
Changing the date, start or end times in YAROOMS will update the Zoom meeting
-
Cancelling the meeting in YAROOMS will delete the Zoom meeting
