Using Zoom for Events

If you would like to use your Zoom account to run online events that you have set up in MemNet, then follow the instructions below.

There are 2 ways to use Zoom this will depend on your organisation's Zoom account licensing:

• Zoom Webinar
• Zoom Meetings

For both options you first need to do the following:

1. Create the event, registrations and bookings in MemNet (see How do I add an Event?).
2. Log into your Zoom account using a web browser (not using the Zoom app or plug in).

Zoom Webinar

If you are using Zoom Webinar you can export a CSV of event attendees from MemNet (from the Bookings tab within the event) to import registrants into Zoom. This may depend on your Zoom licensing level. The CSV file can be up to 2MB.

Zoom provides instructions for doing this here.

After they have been successfully imported, registrants are automatically approved and a confirmation email will be sent to them from Zoom. This is in addition to the Confirmation Email that has been set up in MemNet for this event.

Zoom Meetings

If you are using Zoom Meetings your meeting must be set up with the Required checkbox selected against Registration.

After saving your meeting, copy the Registration Link from Zoom.

Include this Registration Link in the event Confirmation Email you have created for this Event in MemNet. Ensure that the checkbox for Confirmation Emails Enabled is ticked.

MemNet event registrants/attendees will then click on this link to complete their Zoom Meeting Registration and will receive a second confirmation email directly from Zoom.

Zoom Events

Zoom offers Zoom Events as a full service event platform for virtual experiences. If you use this third party option, the event details, registrations, booking and payments are all managed through Zoom Events.

Note that this will not record this data in MemNet against events or member/attendee profiles. See How to import attendees to your event
