How to use Zoom in SoulAdvisor for individual and class/group appointments
Zoom is a video communications app that allows you to set up virtual video calls.
How it works
After you set up Zoom with SoulAdvisor successfully, SoulAdvisor will automatically create Zoom meetings for your online appointments. Zoom can be used for both individual and class/group appointments.
- Individual appointment: The Zoom meeting will be created automatically after the appointment is confirmed. The Zoom meeting will be updated or deleted if the appointment is rescheduled or cancelled.
- Class/Group: The Zoom meeting will be created automatically for your class after the first booking of that class is confirmed. If your client reschedules to a new class, they will receive a new Zoom link for that class. The Zoom meeting will be deleted when you cancel your class.
- The Zoom meeting will be sent to you and your client in a confirmation email.
- You and your client can also find the Zoom meeting in your appointment details or reminder email.
- Your clients need to be admitted by you before they can join the meeting.
- Your clients don’t need to have a Zoom account to attend your online session.

The Zoom meeting will be generated only after you have selected Zoom for your service and also connected with it successfully.
