In Schoox you can set up Virtual Events, live trainings that take place virtually, by connecting Schoox with your WebEx, GoToTraining, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams account.
Virtual Events are a part of the learning process that can be either connected to Courses, Learning Paths, or as standalone events - standalone events take place independently of any training material and are included in the platform in order to track any attendance-related information.
In order to be able to create and initiate Virtual Events, you as an Admin will have to follow two steps. You will need to:
- Enable the Virtual Events module for your academy and then
- Setup the integration with your WeWebEx, GoToTraining, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams account.
Step #1: Enable Virtual Events module
In the left navigation, make sure you are in the Academy Workspace.
When in the Academy Workspace, select Settings.
Here, select the Training filter type.
Navigate to the Instructor-Led Training section and switch the “Do you want Virtual Events for your Academy?” toggle to On (to the right) to enable Live Sessions for your academy.
Note: You can change this setting only once within a 24-hour timeframe. Depending on prior usage of this module heavy recalculations may be conducted to reflect updated progress.
Step #2: Live Sessions Integration
In order to initiate Live Sessions, you will need to connect Schoox with your WebEx, GoToTraining, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams account. This is done from the Academy Workspace under Settings.
Select the Academy filter type.
Then, navigate to the Virtual Events Integration section.
Please note that currently, we do support the following types of accounts:
| Webex | LogMeIn - GoToTraining | Zoom | Microsoft Teams |
| WebEx Training | GoToTraining | Zoom Webinars | Microsoft Teams for Business - Online Meeting |
| Zoom Meetings |
You have the option to connect either your academy or your personal profile with the WebEx, GoToTraining, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams account.
Tip! What’s the difference between these two options?
- Connect with academy: The integration will be available to all Admins, TMs and Managers who can initiate Live Sessions
- Connect with my personal account: The integration will be available only to you. Only you will be able to initiate live sessions using this integration.
