After Zoom is connected to your iSpring Learn account, you can start scheduling and holding Zoom meetings.

The Account Owner, Account Administrators, Department Administrators, and users with a custom role enabled to create trainings can all add a Zoom meeting.

To create a Zoom meeting:

  1. Go to the Trainings section and select Add Training.



  2. Next, click the Add Zoom meeting link. 



  3. Fill in all the fields with the Zoom meeting info and click Save.


    Field nameDescription
    Training themeThe theme length cannot exceed 255 characters. The theme does not have to be unique.
    Training type

    Select the training type: a meeting or a webinar.

    A meeting is an event where some important topics are discussed. For example, before the course starts, the course mentor usually arranges a meeting with learners to explain to them how the learning process is organized.

    A webinar is an educational event during which an instructor shares their knowledge with learners and they ask questions.

    Start date

    You can select any start date for your training, both in the past and the future.

    Creating a training with a date in the past will come in handy if the training has already ended and you need to account for it in a report. If you created a Zoom meeting with a past date, its status will be Not started yet. To make the Zoom meeting changed to Finished, launch and end it.

    At the same place, specify the time zone of the location where the event will take place.

    DurationThe estimated duration of the training. The maximum duration of a training is 23 hours 59 minutes.
    Meeting typeSelect the meeting type: Zoom Webinar or Zoom Web Meeting. Learn about the difference between them in the “Comparison of Web Meetings and Webinars” article.
    Meeting title

    The meeting’s title can be the same as the training theme.

    If you specified the training theme before clicking on the Add Zoom meeting link, the meeting title will autopopulate and will coincide with the theme.

    After the meeting is created, you won't be able to edit its title in iSpring Learn. The only way to change the title will be to modify it in your Zoom account.

    LocationFor a Zoom meeting, write "online."
    Capacity

    Specify the maximum possible number of training participants. If you leave the field blank, the capacity will be unlimited.

    This field is optional and can be left empty.

    InstructorThe name of the person who conducts the training. This can be any person, regardless of whether they have access to your iSpring Learn account or not.

  4. Your training has been created. Now there's only one training session under the Outline tab. Learn how to add more sessions. 

    Some new tabs will appear on the training page:
       • General
       • Notifications
       • Completion
       • Participants

    You will see the meeting both on the calendar in the iSpring Learn account and the calendar in Zoom account.



    Users enrolled in a training will see the meeting in the My Trainings section of their User Portal. The meeting will not appear in user`s Zoom calendar.


Note:

  1. Zoom meetings in iSpring Learn work only with the paid Zoom subscription. They won't work with the Basic plan.

  2. To host webinars, besides having a paid plan, you’ll need to purchase the Webinar add-on.



  3. Read through the requirements you need to meet in order to enable Zoom in your iSpring Learn account. If you don't complete these conditions, Zoom meetings will not work in your account.

  4. Changes in Zoom are not synchronized with iSpring Learn. If you have changed the date and time of a Zoom meeting, you need to update this information in iSpring Learn as well.

  5. iSpring Learn doesn't support the following Zoom functionalities:
       • Creating and conducting meetings using a Personal Meeting ID (PMI)
       • Creating and conducting recurring meetings
       • Converting a web meeting to a webinar and vice versa
