Introduction

Zoom is the leader in modern enterprise video communications, with an easy, reliable cloud platform for video and audio conferencing, collaboration, chat, and webinars across mobile devices, desktops, telephones, and room systems. Zoom Rooms is the original software-based conference room solution used around the world in board, conference, huddle, and training rooms, as well as executive offices and classrooms.

Are you looking to produce this kind of large broadcast and stream the "online meeting" to a large audience on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and perhaps on your website? Videolinq can help.

Configuration

Step 1:

Login to the Videolinq media dashboard, open a channel, set the video source to RTMP, and enable it. Click on the "Encoder" tab and copy the RTMP path and stream key.

Step 2:

You must have Administrator rights on the Zoom account to perform the next two steps. Login to your Zoom account and click on "Settings".

Step 3:

Scroll down in the right section and click on "In Meeting (Advanced)". Find and enable "Allow live streaming of meetings" and check the "Custom Live Streaming Service" box.

Step 4:

You must be the host of the meeting to perform this step. Open the Zoom meeting, and click on the "More" dots.

Step 5:

Select the "Live on Custom Live Streaming Service option.

Step 6:

Copy here the Videolinq RTMP path and stream key. Enter the page URL where you will place the Videolinq or 3rd party player that will deliver the live stream you send from Zoom to Videolinq. If you plan to stream to social media, enter here your website URL or any other URL. Push "Go Live".

Step 7:

Login back to the Videolinq dashboard and confirm you see the Zoom signal sent to Videolinq. Push "Go Live". Now, create a player or a few new destinations, and broadcast your Zoom meeting to social media and other video platforms.
