I can still recall the initial instance when I had to incorporate a Zoom video on my website. Initially, it appeared to be a daunting undertaking, but after conducting some research and going through some trial and error, I was able to successfully accomplish it. This article will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to embed a Zoom video.
Step 1: Create a Zoom Account
If you haven’t already, the first step is to create a Zoom account. Head over to the Zoom website and sign up for a free account. Once you’ve created your account, you’ll have access to your Zoom dashboard.
Step 2: Schedule a Meeting
In order to embed a Zoom video, you’ll need to schedule a meeting first. Click on the “Schedule a Meeting” button on your Zoom dashboard, and fill in the necessary details such as the meeting date, time, and duration. You can also customize the meeting settings according to your preferences.
Step 3: Start the Zoom Meeting
On the day of your scheduled meeting, log in to your Zoom account and navigate to your Zoom dashboard. Click on the “Start” button next to the scheduled meeting. This will open up the Zoom meeting room.
Step 4: Record the Meeting
In order to embed a Zoom video, you need to record the meeting. To do this, click on the “Record” button at the bottom of the Zoom meeting window. You have the option to record the meeting locally on your computer or in the cloud. Choose the option that suits your needs.
Step 5: Generate the Embed Code
Once the meeting is over and the recording is processed, you can generate the embed code. Go to the recording section of your Zoom dashboard and click on the “Share” button next to the recording you want to embed. This will open up a window with the embed code.
Step 6: Embed the Video on Your Website
Copy the embed code provided by Zoom and paste it into the HTML source code of your website where you want the video to be displayed. Make sure to save your changes and then preview your website to see the embedded Zoom video in action.
Conclusion
Embedding a Zoom video on your website may seem intimidating at first, but by following these steps, you’ll be able to do it with confidence. Remember to create a Zoom account, schedule a meeting, start the meeting, record it, generate the embed code, and finally, embed the video on your website. Now you can share your Zoom recordings with your website visitors and provide them with valuable content.
