If you want to allow users to join the meeting without having your users enter a password, you can enable and lock the Embed password in meeting link for one-click join option in the same area.

Creating a Zoom meeting

To create a meeting in Zoom, click on Training then on Courses, and finally click on the course that you want to add a meeting to.

In the Course Content tab, click on the Add Items to This Course drop-down menu and select Add Webinar.

Fill in the form that appears, and make sure that either Zoom Meeting or Zoom Webinar is selected under Webinar Tool. Click Proceed to Adding Timeslots and then Add Time Slots.

In the next pop-up, you will begn creating the first time slot.

Timeslot Description: Use this field to provide information to your users about the time slot.

Location: Use this field to include any location-related information.

Start/End Date and Time: These two fields determine when the time slot begins and finishes. Clicking on these fields will open a calendar widget that allows for easy date and time selection.

Zoom account to use with time slot: Use this field to select which Zoom account the session will be created on.

Time Zone: The time zone that the above date and time takes place in. Users with different time zones will have their ILT automatically converted to display the correct time.

Capacity: The maximum number of attendees for the time slot. Users will not be able to register if the capacity has been reached.

Primary Instructor: Use this field to enter the name of the ILT instructor(s).

Attendance Key: An Attendance Key is a key that users can enter to mark themselves as having attended the ILT. If Webinar was selected, the Attendance Key will also serve as the password for joining the session.

To add an additional time slot, click on Add Timeslot. This will create another slot that users can join. A user will only need to attend one in order to have the ILT marked as completed. If you require a user to attend multiple sessions, you will need to create multiple ILTs, each with their own time slot(s).

Once finished, you can click on Finish Adding Timeslots to add the ILT to your course.

Alternatively, you can click on the Register Users button to start registering users yourself by clicking After clicking on Capacity button.

Once users have been added, you can change their Status from Pending to Absent or Present if required, by selecting the actions button.
