How to stream a Zoom meeting

When enabled by your account administrator, you can live stream a webinar from Zoom to your virtual event.

To do so, you will first need to enable streaming (to be done by an admin). Once this is done you can start streaming.

Prerequisite: enabling custom streaming (Admin)

For you to stream your Zoom meeting or webinar to SpotMe, your account admin will first need to enable live streaming meetings or webinars to a custom platform. More information is available here on how to do this.
