Joining with Zoom.us

This functionality is only available if you have a Conference Room Connector (CRC licence applied to your Zoom account.)

SimplyVideo supports the ability to join a SimplyVideo call from Zoom, as outlined below:



Head to your Zoom.us acccount at www.zoom.us and log in to you account

Head to the settings tab, once there you need to turn off "Require a passcode for instant meetings", this is so when you enter a Simply Video call you don't need a pin code.

Click on "host a meeting"

Join your Zoom call as you normally would (we've used the browser in this demo)

Select your audio device

Click on the "manage Participants" button at the bottom of the page

This will open your side bar, from there click on the "invite" button which will open a pop up section

Within the invite popup select 'Room System' and 'Call out' (this is where you'll need that active Zoom CRC licence). Add your SimplyVideo meeting ID here.

Please note - it's important to use the following format when dialling in ROOMID@SIMPLY.VIDEO. This is the other way round to how our weblinks look, e.g. simply.video/roomid

You should then be connected to the SimplyVideo call.
