Add video links instantly with video conferencing integration

Manually copying and pasting meeting links between tools takes time and increases the chance of error.

With video conferencing integration, you can automatically generate and attach secure video meeting links (Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams) from your account directly to events, candidate invitations, and calendar files.

What’s new in a nutshell

• Automatic Video Link Generation: When creating an event, a unique link is generated for each candidate once they’re assigned to a timeslot.
• Preferred Platform Support: Connect your Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams account to automatically generate meeting details.
• Per Event Type Defaults: Set whether video conferencing links are automatically turned on or off by default based on event type.
• ICS File Integration: Video links are automatically added to calendar invites and distributed to all attendees.

What this means for your team

• Less Manual Work: No need to generate and paste video links. Everything is handled automatically during event creation.
• Fewer Errors: Reduce the risk of incorrect or missing meeting details in candidate invites.
• Consistent Experience: Standardise your interview setup across event types for example, disable video links for in-person sessions and enable them for virtual interviews.
