Setting up multiple users in a Zoom account

Please note this article is about the Zoom software created by Zoom Video Communications, Inc and is provided for information only! For general details about using the Zoom integration for Telescape Live please see follow this link.

If you wish to have multiple meetings run simultaneously on a Zoom account you will need to create multiple users on your account. In addition you will most likely want to set "Scheduling privileges" between thos users which will allow you to change the host for a meeting from within Telescape Live.

Adding multiple Users as zoom hosts

Sign in to your zoom account via the website at: https://zoom.us/signin

Visit your Zoom Account Billing Page to check your zoom subscription Plan.

With the standard Pro plan one Host User can host meetings with unlimited minutes for up to 100 participants.

Providing you have a Pro or higher plan you can pay to add additional Hosts to your zoom account as you require by visiting the Zoom website’s Billing Page and clicking Add/Edit.

Once you’ve paid to add your additional Host(s) to your zoom account, you now need to add/ invite them as User(s). You can do this in User Management / Users.

You add/invite Users by entering their email address. The Add Users window shows you how many meeting/user licences you’ve paid for and have available. Provided you’ve paid for enough host licences you can invite multiple users at once (just use a comma to separate multiple email addresses).

Once added you will see all your Users in your list ( https://zoom.us/account/user#/). Please note that your newly added Users will receive a Zoom Account Invitation email which they will need to confirm in order to activate their account. Once activated their zoom accounts will be listed as ‘Members’.

Enabling Scheduling Privileges

If you wish to enable your various Users to be able to create and schedule meetings on your behalf or on each others behalf you will need to establish Scheduling Privilege for each of them. To do that log in as each user then navigate to Settings then to Other and find the "Schedule Privileges" section.

It is important that ever user whome you may wish to transfer hosting to has given Scheduling Privileges to every user for which you may have originally created a meeting.
