Online location

  1. Select Online event as the location type.

  2. Enter a Location name (e.g. "Online Zoom event"):

  3. Then, select your chosen Online provider from the drop-down list:

  1. Zoom integration
    When you select this option, a Zoom meeting will be automatically generated when a customer books the event.

  2. Jitsi integration
    Similar to Zoom, this integration automatically generates a Jitsi meeting link for your event when a booking is made.

  3. Manually added joining details
    If you're using a different online provider (e.g. YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, MS Teams), select this option and manually enter the joining details (e.g., meeting link, password, etc.).

Manually entering joining details

By selecting Manually added joining details as the Online provider, you can use a different online provider than our current integrations:

  • When you select this option, the system won't automatically create a new meeting for your bookings. Instead, you must manually create the meeting on your chosen platform (e.g., Zoom, MS Teams, YouTube).

  • After that, add the meeting details to your Bookwhen location using the Private online event information field. This ensures your attendees have the necessary details to join the event.
