So, you want to schedule a Zoom meeting? No problem! However, we have a limited amount of Zoom licenses, so a meeting can only be scheduled as a member of a specific circle in Hypha. Once you have confirmed for which circle the meeting is for, make sure your meeting does not overlap with existing meetings (licenses do not allow concurrent meetings).

The embedded calendar below shows times in GMT+0 UTC only. Once you add the calendar to your personal Google calendar, it will convert to your local timezone. To add calendars to your calendar, simply click on the "+" sign at the bottom of the embedded calendar below.

How to create a Zoom meeting

As you recall, every circle has one Zoom license, so it is important to log into Zoom under the correct Zoom account for your circle. All login credentials are maintained in Locker, if you do not have access to Locker, please set up a Locker account first (see below).

After you have successfully logged into Zoom, you can schedule your meeting. Click on Meetings and then on Schedule a Meeting. Fill in the form and pay attention to the following fields:

Timezone: Always set this to GMT +0.00 UTC (this will avoid the Daylight Savings Times issue)
Recurring meeting: click on the checkbox, if you repeat this meeting every week (set to weekly and give it an end date or the number of occurrences in the dropdown, eg. "20")
Security: Check "passcode", it will automatically generate a link with the password attached

It is not necessary to have the host be present at the meeting. However, you can share the host code with your team so host features are available (incl. recording and break out sessions). To share the host code, click on Profile and scroll down to Host Code.

After you have created your meeting, you need to share the invite on the Hypha Google calendar.

To add the invite to the correct calendar, you need to do two things:

Switch your Google calendar to the CIRCLE calendar account by clicking on the avatar on the top right of the calendar view (you will see a Hypha logo like shown below). If you need to login to the Hypha calendar Google account, please read the section below.

Open the invite that was created and switch the calendar to the correct Google CIRCLE calendar. Save it.

Edit the Google calendar

To add a calendar event (or remove a meeting), you need access to the Google calendar. For access credentials, see Access Your Password Locker below. Once you are logged into Google you can:

edit or remove a calendar entry
check on the correct timezone of the meeting (important!)

Access the Password Locker

Please decide who can access the passwords for Zoom and Google account in your circle. While we suggest the Lamp Lighter is a good candidate, it can be anyone in the circle. It is good practice to grant 2-3 people access to the passwords.

If this is the first time using the password locker, do this...
