How to protect scheduled Zoom calls for members only

Zoom is a super popular software for hosting video calls and/or webinars.

Calendly is a modern software option for scheduling calls and meetings.

If you combine these two tools with MemberSpace, you can create a beautiful and simple-to-use scheduling system for members to get access to Zoom calls you host.

This is great for many use cases such as:

• Yoga and/or workout classes
• Coaching calls
• Webinars

Protecting Zoom calls

1. Sign up for Calendly's Premium or Pro plan.
2. Sign up for Zoom's free Basic plan if your calls are going to be 40 minutes or less. If you need longer calls, join their Pro plan.
3. In Calendly, set up your first event. If the event is for more than one attendee at a time, make sure you select 'Group' when creating the event.
4. In Calendly, make sure you integrate Zoom and set it as the location for your event (learn how to use Zoom with Calendly).
5. Copy your Calendly event link.
6. In MemberSpace > click Products > click Add Product.
7. Select Video Conferencing from the dropdown, and fill out the product details (i.e. product name and select an emoji if you'd like).

8. Click An external link > give your link a name (e.g. "register") > enter your Calendly event link.

   
   

   

9. Be sure the toggle under Member Menu is turned ON.

   
   

   

   
   

10. Select one or more plans under Which plans grant access to this product? (if granting access to existing plans) > click Add Now at the bottom.

    
    

    If you'd like, you can create a new plan specific to this product.

When a member joins a plan that grants access to this product, they'll be able to register for the Calendly event using the link in your Member Menu. Upon registration, a Zoom link will automatically be generated for the event.

You can also send out automatic calendar invites and reminders about the event via Calendly if you'd like.

What if I don't use the Member Menu?

If you're not using your Member Menu, follow the steps below to protect your Zoom call.

1. Follow steps 1-4 above.

2. In your website editor (WordPress, Squarespace, Webflow, etc), create and design a page that will be for members only. On this page is where you should embed your Calendly event.

   
   

   Let's pretend the page URL is "yoursite.com/member-schedule".

3. In MemberSpace > click Products > click Add Product.
4. Select Video Conferencing from the dropdown, and fill out the product details (i.e. product name and select an emoji if you'd like).

5. Then, select On my website > give the page a title (e.g. "register") > enter the page URL slug (e.g. /member-schedule).

   
   

   

6. Select one or more plans under Which plans grant access to this product? (if granting access to existing plans) > click Add Now at the bottom.

   
   

   If you'd like, you can create a new plan specific to this product.

Now only members on the plans you selected can access your "/member-schedule" protected page. When a member does access this page, they will be able to join one of your Calendly events, and a Zoom link will automatically be generated for the event.

You can also send out automatic calendar invites and reminders about the event via Calendly if you'd like.
