Utilizing Zoom with an On-Demand Event

If you want to host a Zoom after your on-demand event, here's how.

Written by Kayla Kaipolani Carroll

If you would like to create a live virtual Q&A following your on-demand event window utilizing Zoom, or a similar video conferencing tool, you can do so. However, your audience must leave the Kinema virtual screening room and platform, and move to your Zoom line in order to watch the Q&A.

Here's how to set that up:

Create your on-demand screening event (instructions here)

Separately, and with your own Zoom account, create your Zoom event.

  • Set the date at the end of your on-demand event window.

  • Make sure you change the settings to allow anyone with the link join.

  • If your audience is over 100 people, you may need to upgrade your zoom account

  • If you expect your Q&A to be longer than 45 minutes, you may need to upgrade your zoom account

  • Appoint one person on your team to ensure everyone gets in the zoom.

Copy the meeting invitation code, which looks like this:

Add this information to your event in the following ways:

1. Event Page. On your event page, indicate that there will be a live Q&A after the screening, and that the audience should ensure they have a Zoom account in advance. It is important to have this information in this spot as this way viewers will have access to the Zoom information after their viewing time has expired. (How to edit your event page)

2. Virtual Cinema. Copy and paste the Zoom access information into the On-Demand Event Description within the Virtual Cinema. Learn how to access this section here. Audiences will only see the copy in the virtual cinema once they have RSVPed or purchased a ticket, then logged in and visited the virtual cinema.

3. Engagement Link. You may also add a button into the virtual Cinema so that your attendees can click and be taken directly to the Zoom event to add it to the calendar. Here are instructions on how to do so. Audiences will only see the copy in the virtual cinema once they have RSVPed or purchased a ticket, then logged in and visited the virtual cinema.
