How to set up your online meetings
Before you start to add your online meetings to easy-Speak please consider this article and the choices that you are about to make for your club meetings: Keep your online Zoom meeting secureHow to keep Zoom-bombers from disrupting your meeting.
I'll use the example of a Zoom meeting: http://us04web.zoom.us/j/7094012267
That splits into two parts
The base url which is the same for all your meetings: http://us04web.zoom.us/j/
The meeting number: 7094012267
Examples, using Webex, GoToMeeting and Microsoft Teams are shown at the foot of this article
There are three actions to make this work for your club:
1 - You must add a new location in your Club Control Panel
Use a descriptive name for the meeting location and
Enter the base url for your chosen conferencing tool (In this example. https://zoom.com/j/ - (More explanation below )
LocationsAn explanation of the use of locations and their maintenance in the Club Control Panel
2 - You must then edit each meeting that you want to hold online to use the new location that you just added
3 - You must then edit the agenda for that meeting again to show the call details for that specific meeting
In the Control Panel: Club Control Panel > Locations edit
(You will be able to add meeting-dependant information on the agenda screen)
If you do NOT welcome guests to these online meetings, use the third option 'Virtual Hidden' and the meetings will not be listed in the calendar with other online meetings if the user is not already connected to your club.
Non-members of your club may contact you via the website and asked to be given access. (as 'Visiting Toastmaster', 'Special Guest' or whatever satus you have created in your club.
If you select the normal option 'Virtual (internet meeting)' the meeting will be displayed to guests but only logged in users of easy-Speak will see the link to your online meeting.
Edit the meeting(s) concerned and change the venue to use the new venue you just created
You will then have additional choices on the agenda screen....
Please click if you would like to attend this meeting
Enter ONLY the call reference in the 'Edit meeting link' box. The rest of the url must come from the location that you entered in the Control Panel. Put some text into the narrative text (for Zoom that is likely to be the reference number again)
We strongly recommend that you set your Zoom meetings with a password. If you have done that you must enter the meeting ID and the password into the meeting link box. See example below.
There are THREE 'Save buttons on the agenda screen. All of them are enabled when you enter the call reference and any one of them will save the details of the meeting.
The base url: http://us04web.zoom.us/j/ which is the same for all meetings and MUST BE saved in the Control Panel
A meeting identity and password which is specific for each meeting: 7024012263?pwd=Nk9uVlc3TElUOEpwNXltZldkY3NKZz09 which is entered for each meeting. Cut-and-paste that from your Zoom meeting setup screen
The two pieces are concatenated to produce the clickable link shown above.
Another example using GoToMeeting software
The full url for the meeting will be: global.gotomeeting.com/join/345023973
That is made up of two parts:
The base url: https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/ which is the same for all meetings and MUST BE saved in the Control Panel
A meeting identity which is specific for each meeting: 345023973 which is entered for the meeting
Another example using Webex software
The full url for the meeting will be: myco.webex.com/myco/j.php?MTID=3
That is made up of two parts:
The base url:https://myco.webex.com/myco/j.php?MTID= which is the same for all meetings and MUST BE saved in the Control Panel
A meeting identity which is specific for each meeting: 3 which is entered for the meeting
Another example using Microsoft teams software
The full url for the meeting will be: teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_MWNjazA3YjgtMTdkZi00NGY5LWJkYTgtMjFhNDY5NTA5Y
That is made up of two parts:
The base url: teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/ which is the same for all meetings and MUST BE saved in the Control Panel
A meeting identity and password which is specific for each meeting: 19%3ameeting_MWajNzA3YjgtMTdkZi00NGY5LWJkYTgtMjFhNDY5NTA5Y which is entered for the meeting
