Assign Your Speaker as Zoom Host

Slayte is a Zoom partner and offers one of the most comprehensive Zoom integrations available. With this integration, you can assign session speakers as Zoom hosts without requiring them to be added to your organization’s Zoom license. This makes it easy for speakers to manage and start their own Zoom meetings independently, without relying on staff to launch each session.

You can assign one or more users as the Virtual Meeting Host(s) for each session by following the steps below.

Before continuing, make sure the Zoom integration is installed as described here. If you do not see the Virtual Meeting Host(s) field after installation, reload the page.

Assigning a Speaker as Zoom Host

1. From your event, navigate to Sessions.
   
2. Click on the desired session to open the Session Detail view.
   
3. Scroll down to the Virtual section of the session detail, then click Add Stream / Video / Conference.
   
   
4. Select the appropriate Zoom installation label from the list.
   
   
5. Click Create New Video Conference or Link Existing Video Conference.
   
   
6. In the Virtual Meeting Host(s) field, search for and select the user you want to assign as the host.

7. Click Save to confirm your changes.
