How to connect your Zoom account with your GiraffePad account.
1: Why connect my Zoom account?
Connecting your Zoom and GiraffePad accounts enables you to set up all your virtual sessions directly in your GiraffePad account. Rather than having to switch between the two you can create a GiraffePad event to be delivered via a Zoom Meeting in the same way that you create an event that will be delivered in person. Your learners will receive their event invite from GiraffePad as usual and the link to the Zoom Meeting will be embedded in the learner's GiraffePad event page next to the objectives, resources, group chat etc. Everything stays in the one place making it easier for you to manage and easier for your learners to engage with your content.
Please note, you will need a Zoom Pro account or above for this integration to work.
2: How to connect your Zoom account:
On your left hand side menu, select "Settings" and from the drop down list you will see "Integrations":
When you click on "Integrations" you will see this screen:
When you click on "Connect your Zoom account" you will be directed to Zoom's website. Once signed in to your Zoom account you will then be asked to authorize GiraffePad to interact with your Zoom account:
Click on "Authorize" and this will integrate your Zoom and GiraffePad accounts. You will then be returned to your GiraffePad account and see confirmation that your Zoom account is connected:
You are now all set up to create and run your zoom events directly from your GiraffePad event pages. Check out the articles on "Creating a Zoom Meeting event" and "Your learners' experience of a Zoom Meeting event in GiraffePad" to see how this integration works.
3: How to disconnect my Zoom account:
Simply select "Integrations" on your "Settings"menu. Then click on the red "Disconnect" button. Your Zoom account will no longer be integrated and you will not be able to set up Zoom events directly in GiraffePad.
