Add a video call

An event can carry a video call. Pick Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams and Spodus creates the meeting with your own account when you save. Or paste a link from any other tool.

Things to know

• Each person connects their own video account. Connecting yours doesn't connect it for your teammates.
• If a provider shows Not available, your workspace hasn't set it up yet. You can still paste a link.
• The meeting is created after the event is saved. If the provider is slow or down, the event is still saved and a message tells you why there's no link.

Connect a video account

Connect before you create the event. Connecting takes you away from the calendar, so an event you're in the middle of isn't kept.

1. Click your picture in the page bar, then click Settings.
2. Under Modules, click Calendar, then Calendars.
3. Under Video conferencing, click Connect next to Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams.
4. Sign in to the provider and allow access. You come back to Spodus when it's done.

You can also get here from the calendar: click Calendar settings (the gear), then Calendar settings…, then Calendars.

To stop using an account, click Disconnect next to it.

Add a video call to an event

1. Open New event, or open an event and click Edit event.
2. Next to Add location, click Video call.
3. Pick Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams. The event shows that a meeting will be created when you save.
4. Click Save.

When the link is ready you see a message such as "Zoom link added".

If you pick a provider you haven't connected yet, Spodus takes you to connect it.

Paste your own link

1. Click Video call, then Paste a link.
2. Paste the meeting link.
3. Click Save.

To take the call off the event, click Video call, then No video call.

Join the call

Click the event on the calendar, then click Join Zoom, Join Google Meet or Join Microsoft Teams. For a pasted link the button says Join video call.
