TidyCal offers native integration with Zoom, allowing a unique Zoom meeting link to be automatically generated for each confirmed booking — provided it’s been set up properly in both your account and the booking type.

- Log in to your TidyCal account.
- Click the hamburger icon (☰) in the top-rightcorner.
- Go to Integrations > Video Conferences.

IMPORTANT
- Zoom will only generate meeting links if your TidyCal account email matches the email address of your connected primary calendar.
- Ensure your Zoom, TidyCal, and primary calendar emails all match for the integration to work correctly. Otherwise, you will be made to "Wait for the host to let you in."
Step 2: Enable Zoom for a specific booking type
Each booking type can have one or multiple online video conference options. Learn more.
