CMS - Meetings Invite Links - Tips & Tricks

Created by Glennise Pretorius, Modified on Mon, 17 Aug at 1:12 PM by Mienette van Heerden

When creating the meeting invitation, it is important to copy and paste the meeting link correctly. This ensures that attendees receive a valid link and prevents communication errors.

Microsoft TEAMS: 
1. Create the TEAMs Meeting.
2. Open the meeting and select the Copy Link icon. This copies only the meeting URL.



When pasting the link into the Meeting card on WeconnectU, always right-click and select Paste as Plain Text.



Important: DO NOT use Ctrl + V or the standard paste option, as this may prevent the correct meeting URL from being pasted.





ZOOM: 
1. Create your Zoom Meeting.
2. Open up the meeting and right click on the meeting link. Select Copy, or use CTRL + C as demonstrated in the screen recording below.


When navigating to WeconnectU, it is VITALLY important to right-click and select Paste as Plain Text. Users should NOT simply click and paste, or use the CTRL + V shortcut, as this may cause formatting issues.


GOOGLE MEET: 
1. Create your Google Meet.
2. Click on the meeting, select Invite via Link, and then click the Copy icon to copy the meeting link.



When adding the link to WeconnectU, right-click in the relevant field and select Paste as Plain Text.

If there is a password on the Meeting link, the suggested practice would be to insert the password in the additional message section of the email. 


This will, however, not reflect in the SMS message.
