Overview

Users can join existing Zoom meetings that are linked to the Sococo rooms or shared as Zoom meeting links. This feature comes in handy when entering open rooms in Sococo spaces, allowing users to immediately enter any ongoing Zoom meeting.

Diagnosis

There are several different scenarios where you can join a Zoom meeting and how you can:

• Accept or decline to join a meeting.
• Join a meeting in a room using a Zoom meeting URL.

Prerequisites

To join a Zoom meeting, you need one of the following:

• Zoom meeting is created and linked to a Sococo room
• Zoom meeting URL is shared with you

Solution

Scenarios for Joining a Meeting

• If you are present in a room when someone else is creating a Zoom meeting, you will automatically get a notification to join the meeting.

• When you are entering a room, and there is an ongoing Zoom meeting associated with it (you can see the Zoom icon next to the room name), you will instantly get a notification to join the meeting.
  

• If someone from a room that has a Zoom meeting associated with it "gets you" to the room, and you accept the invite, you will instantly get a notification to join the meeting. 

• There can be cases where you are in a room that has a Zoom meeting associated with it, but you are not part of the meeting because you previously (intentionally or accidentally) selected the Decline button. You can still join the meeting in several ways:

  • Click the Join button at the top-right corner of the screen.
    
  • Click on the Zoom icon next to the room name.
    
  • Right-click on the room area and select the Join external meeting option.
    

Accepting/Declining to Join a Meeting

For all the scenarios above, you will get a notification to join the meeting, similar to the image below:

You can copy the Zoom Meeting Link for sharing or further use by clicking the Copy Zoom Meeting Link button.

• You can Accept the meeting to start your Zoom meeting
• You can Decline the meeting to close the Zoom notification

Joining a Meeting in a Room using Zoom Meeting URL

If the room does not have a Zoom meeting associated with it, you must have the Zoom link for the meeting to be able to join. You can join the meeting by following these steps:

1. Open the prompt to enter the URL in one of the following ways:
   • Click the Join button on the upper right part of the Sococo app.
     
   • Or, you can right-click on the room area and select Connect to external meeting.
     
     
2. A new window pops up so you can enter the Zoom meeting link.
   

3. After entering the Zoom Meeting URL, click Start Meeting.

   This action will start the meeting for you and add the Zoom meeting icon to the room. All other members of your Sococo space can see that a Zoom meeting is in progress.
