Zoom Meetings Integration
Super admins and admins can configure, view and modify the Zoom Meetings integration. Managers & staff will not have access to this information.
Zoho Bookings allows support, sales, and other customer-facing teams to offer online consultations through appointments by integrating with Zoom Meetings. Zoom is a cloud-based video and audio collaboration software. With this integration in place, businesses can help their customers schedule online consultations with them.
This integration requires that you have a suitable plan with Zoom Meetings to schedule a desired number of online consultations for participants.
