Virtual Meeting Integrations for Events
Overview
Learn Amp integrates with popular video conferencing platforms to make virtual events seamless. When you create a session with Zoom, MS Teams, or Google Meet, Learn Amp automatically generates meeting links, manages participant access, and can even track attendance automatically.
This guide covers all three integrations and helps you choose the right one for your events.
Pre-requisites
Before using virtual meeting integrations:
Your company must have the relevant integration enabled
For Zoom/MS Teams: The integration must be configured by an administrator
For Google Meet: Individual users must authorise Learn Amp to access their calendar

Zoom Integration
How It Works
Admin enables Zoom integration for the company
Event creator selects Zoom as location type
Chooses a Zoom host from available users
Learn Amp creates the Zoom meeting automatically
Meeting link appears to enrolled learners 5 minutes before the session
After the session, attendance is automatically marked
Setting Up a Zoom Session
Create or edit your event session
Select Zoom as the location type
Choose the Zoom host (whose meeting room will be used)
Optionally enable Auto-recording to cloud
Save the session
Automatic Recording
When enabled, Zoom records the session to the cloud. After the meeting ends:
Event creator receives notification that recording is available
Recording can be converted to a video item in Learn Amp library
Creates on-demand content from live training
Attendance Tracking
Zoom integration enables automatic attendance:
Learn Amp retrieves participant data from Zoom
Attendance is marked for enrolled users who joined
Works even if learners join without signing into Learn Amp
💡 Tip: For accurate tracking, encourage learners to join with their work email.
MS Teams Integration
How It Works
Admin enables MS Teams integration for the company
Event creator selects MS Teams as location type
Chooses a host with MS Teams access
Learn Amp creates the Teams meeting automatically
Meeting link appears to enrolled learners 15 minutes before the session
Attendance can be tracked automatically via the integration
Setting Up an MS Teams Session
Create or edit your event session
Select MS Teams as the location type
Choose the host (must have active Microsoft 365 account)
Save the session
Requirements
Host must have an active Microsoft 365 account
Host's account must be linked to Learn Amp
MS Teams integration must be enabled company-wide
Attendance Tracking
MS Teams integration supports automatic attendance marking:
Participant data is retrieved after the meeting
Enrolled users who joined are marked as attended
Some delay may occur while data syncs
Google Meet Integration
How It Works
Individual users authorise Learn Amp to access their Google Calendar
Event creator selects Google Meet as location type
Chooses an authorised user as host
Learn Amp creates the meeting in the host's Google Calendar
Meeting link is generated automatically
Setting Up a Google Meet Session
Ensure you've authorised Learn Amp (see below)
Create or edit your event session
Select Google Meet as the location type
Choose an authorised host from the dropdown
Save the session
Authorising Google Calendar Access
If you're not in the host dropdown:
Look for the authorisation link in the session form
Click to connect your Google account
Grant Learn Amp permission to create calendar events
Return to Learn Amp and refresh
You should now appear in the host list
Key Differences
No automatic attendance – You'll need to use another attendance method
Per-user setup – Each potential host must individually authorise
Calendar integration – Meeting appears in host's Google Calendar
Guest access – Learners typically don't need Google accounts
Changing Meeting Platforms
If you need to switch platforms after creating a session:
Edit the session
Change the location type to the new platform
Select the appropriate host
Save
⚠️ Warning: This generates a new meeting link. The old link becomes invalid. Notify enrolled learners of the change.
Regenerating Meeting Links
To regenerate a Zoom or MS Teams link without changing host:
Edit the session
Change the host to a different user
Save
Edit again and change back to the original host
Save – a new link is generated
FAQs
Do learners need accounts on the video platform?
Generally no. Most platforms allow guests to join via browser. However, some corporate security settings may require authentication.
Can I use a different platform than the host uses?
No, the host must have an account on the selected platform.
Are meeting links visible to waitlisted learners?
No, meeting links only appear for approved/enrolled learners.
What if the host's licence expires?
The meeting may become inaccessible. Update the session with a new host who has an active licence.
Can I use my personal Zoom/Teams account?
This depends on your company's integration configuration. Some organisations link the integration to specific accounts.
Why is Google Meet different?
Google Meet requires per-user authorisation due to how Google's API permissions work. It's designed for individual calendar access rather than organisation-wide management.
Troubleshooting
