What does LunaCal’s Zoom integration do?

The Zoom integration lets LunaCal automatically create Zoom meetings for bookings when Zoom Video is selected as the event’s meeting location. Setup has two parts in LunaCal’s appointment booking software:
  • Connect Zoom through Integrations → Conferencing for your personal account or a team event type.
  • Assign Zoom to each event through Event Setup → Meeting Location → Zoom Video, then save.
Connecting the account does not automatically select Zoom as the location for every event.

Why use LunaCal to schedule Zoom appointments?

LunaCal’s scheduling tool connects appointment booking with Zoom meeting creation, so bookings for events configured with Zoom Video can create their Zoom meetings automatically. You choose whether to install the integration for your personal account or a team event type, then select which events use Zoom. This gives you control over the connection’s scope and each event’s meeting location.

Frequently asked questions

How do I automatically create Zoom meetings when someone books?

Connect Zoom through LunaCal’s Integrations → Conferencing settings, then select Zoom Video as the event’s Meeting Location and click Save. Both the connection and the event location must be configured.

Why isn’t Zoom being added to my appointments?

Check that Zoom shows a Connected status in LunaCal and that the relevant event has Zoom Video selected under Meeting Location. Save the event after selecting it. Connecting Zoom alone does not assign it to every event.

Can I connect Zoom for a team?

Yes. When installing Zoom Video in LunaCal, you can choose a team event type or your personal account. Select the scope you need, then configure Zoom Video as the meeting location for the events that should use it.

Does connecting Zoom change all my event locations?

No. In LunaCal, you must manually select Zoom Video in each event’s Meeting Location field and save the change. The account connection and event location are separate setup steps.

Which Zoom permission do I need to select?

Choose View user when prompted during the LunaCal Zoom connection flow, then click Authorize. This is the permission option specified in the setup instructions for accessing your Zoom profile and creating meetings for bookings.
