Combining Zoom with Vito allows you to broadcast a video call to all your attendees in the hub, while they have access to a live-updating schedule, discussion section, pages of custom content, a list of your sponsors and speakers, and more.
💡 Tip: Zoom allows you to stream a meeting or webinar to another platform if you have a Pro, Business, Education, or Enterprise account.
The first thing to do is for an Admin on your Zoom account to enable Custom Live Streaming Service. Hosts will then be able to stream individual meetings or webinars whenever they need to. Here we provide some step-by-step instructions, but if you get stuck on any of these points, this help article from Zoom goes into more detail.
💡 Tip: you will only need to follow these instructions in full the first time.

Template instructions for hosts
Here are some template instructions that the Admin can paste in when enabling live-streaming at account level in Zoom:

Stream Key: Copy from the Stream page in your hub
Live Streaming Page URL: Enter the URL for your hub
Viewing a Zoom call in Vito
We recommend running one or two test streams from Zoom to an empty hub ahead of time so that you can check you’re happy with how everything works.
Open your hub, view as Admin, and head to the live-stream page. Click on the green button to show the video player when you're ready for participants to see the stream.
One thing to note is that there’ll be a Zoom watermark in the bottom right corner of the video. Zoom has a beta option to replace this with your own watermark, but it will still say “Powered by Zoom” underneath.
