Use Zoom integration for ILT webinars
Perform the following steps to configure and use the Zoom integration for your ILT webinar so that attendance through Zoom meetings/webinars is tracked automatically.
- First, you need to create a new ILT session. In the dialog box for creating a new session, set the Session Type to Webinar.
Note: Because attendance is being tracked through Zoom, the Self Check-In feature is disabled.
- In the Webinar Link/URL field, enter the Zoom meeting/webinar link. If this link is associated with the Zoom account that is integrated with your Mindtickle Learning Site, you will see a message in green indicating that attendance will be automatically tracked for this webinar.
You can disable attendance tracking via Zoom by toggling the Attendance via Zoom Integration switch OFF.

Troubleshooting or FAQs
Common installation issues.
Please check if you have entered the correct credentials for Zoom. If the issue persists, contact Mindtickle Support.
Why is my meeting ID not valid for attendance tracking?
