Integrating Virtual Meetings

How do I set up integrated virtual meeting hosts?

We have an integration in place for two virtual meeting platforms: Adobe Connect and Zoom. Integrating a virtual meeting host into the Skllable TMS makes scheduling easier. Scheduling a Class in the TMS automatically creates a meeting in your virtual meeting host. It also gives each student links to class recordings directly in their Enrollment. This gives your students and instructors one place to open their virtual meeting, launch all their class Activities, and access any class recordings.

Please note, we have no control over changes made in Adobe Connect or Zoom or outages on their platforms. We are only providing a service to allow meetings to be created and opened within the Skillable TMS platform.

Adobe Connect Integrated Meeting Host Setup

Once you have an Adobe Connect contract you will need to send our help desk the following information.

1. The URL for your Adobe Connect account
2. The username and password for your account; the account must have full Administrator account permissions
3. The number of licenses purchased
4. The amount of time before class starts and after class ends for your instructor to be able to launch into the meeting. If this is not specified, it will default to 60 minutes before class starts and zero minutes after the class session ends.
5. The amount of time before class starts and after class ends for your students to be able to launch into the meeting. If this is not specified, it will default to 15 minutes before class starts and zero minutes after the class session ends.
6. Gather this information and send a request to our help desk. Select here to request a Skillable TMS/Adobe Connect integration.

Zoom Integrated Meeting Host Setup

To integrate Zoom into the Skillable TMS, you will need a licensed Zoom account, set up a JSon Web Token (JWT) in Zoom, and send some information to our help desk for set up in the TMS. Once you have decided on a Zoom plan and have an account, you will need to set up a JWT app, this lets Zoom and the Skillable TMS communicate. Follow the instructions below to create the JWT app and send us the API key, API secret, and the email of a licensed user.

Go to the Zoom App Marketplace.

1. From the Develop menu, select Build App
2. This opens a Choose your app type page, on the JWT tile select Create.
3. Fill out the information to create the app
4. To set up Zoom, we will need your API Key and API Secret. We also need the email of a licensed Zoom user to verify the set up. Select here to request a Skillable TMS/Zoom integration.

The integration will be broken if you regenerate the API Secret after the integration is set up.

Webex Integrated Meeting Host Setup

To integrate WebEx into the Skillable TMS, you will need a licensed WebEx account. Once you have an WebEx contract you will need to send our help desk the following information.

1. The Site Name for the WebEx account.
2. The username and password for your account; the account needs to be a level above all users that are instructors, since the user schedules meetings on their behalf; and must at the minimum be able to:

• Create meetings
• Delete meetings
• Update meetings

1. The amount of time before class starts and after class ends for your instructor to be able to launch into the meeting. If this is not specified, it will default to 60 minutes before class starts and zero minutes after the class session ends.
2. The amount of time before class starts and after class ends for your students to be able to launch into the meeting. If this is not specified, it will default to 15 minutes before class starts and zero minutes after the class session ends.
