If you have added a virtual room to one of your seminar events, users can easily access the room by following these steps:
- Navigate to the course containing the seminar activity.
- Find the seminar event you want to join on the course page.
- Any rooms/virtual rooms are listed under the Rooms heading. Click the name of the virtual room you want to join.
- Information about the room will be displayed before you join. For the Zoom integration, any user with permission to set up virtual rooms will be shown two buttons: Host meeting and Join as attendee, as Zoom provides two separate URL links for hosting and attending an event.
- Click Join / Join as attendee to enter the virtual room. If the room is not currently open, the time and date of the next session will be displayed.
If you're using Zoom, trainers cannot host virtual rooms that have been created by other trainers. If a different trainer needs to host the event, they will need to create a new virtual room so that they can host using their own account.
