This tutorial will show you how to connect to a Zoom meeting using StreamAlive's app for Zoom. If you’d like to learn how to connect to other platforms, please refer to our other articles.
This can be achieved in two ways:
Through the Web App
Through the Zoom App
In this article, we’ll explain the second point which is through the Zoom app. However, here’s the documentation if you’d like to explore using the StreamAlive Web app.
The StreamAlive bot connects to your session and picks up your audience's comments. StreamAlive then turns them into the visual interactions on your screen.
With that being said, let us dive into the steps:
Open the Zoom Client and go to the Apps tab on the horizontal bar menu.
Click on the StreamAlive app under the “My Apps” section.
If you do not have the app installed, please refer to our article “How to Add/Remove the StreamAlive App”
Log in with your StreamAlive account.
If you don't have an account yet, use the Sign-up, it's free option.
You can also use the interaction generator below the sign-up option to have a preview of what StreamAlive can do. It's as simple as entering a topic and clicking on Preview
Once you're logged in, you can choose to use one of your existing presentations (if any) or you can continue without one by running quick/ad hoc interactions for your meeting.
If you choose to use an existing presentation:
Choose one of your created presentations by clicking on the drop-down menu and then click on Present to continue
A pop-up will appear asking for permission to start a meeting. Click on Allow.
A new meeting will start with Streamalive's Go Live Presentation screen opened along with it.
Now, at the top, a pop-up should appear asking you to share your presentation screen with your audience. Click on the Share App Screen button to start presenting the visual interactions to your audience.
With that, you have successfully connected StreamAlive to Zoom
If you want to run ad-hoc interactions:
Click on Run interactions ad hoc
A pop-up will appear asking for permission to start a meeting. Click on Allow
The StreamAlive screen will appear with the available interactions.
Click on the Pop out feature to focus on the StreamAlive screen.
Choose an interaction you want to run for your meeting.
For this tutorial, we will be creating a Power Poll.
Edit and customize your interaction.
Content Tab
Generate with AI: This feature is another version of our Create with AI tool that allows you to make use of our AI to generate the interaction's heading/options.
The difference between the two is that the Create with AI feature is only available in the Presentation Editor when creating a presentation and helps to create multiple interactions in one go. However, the Generate with AI tool only creates suggestions for a single interaction but works similarly.
Heading/Options: Here is where you can enter the question/heading and options for your interaction.
Interaction Settings: Scroll down and configure the settings for your interaction.
Themes Tab: The Themes tab allows you to set a color scheme or design for how your slide will look like.
From classic to scenic themes, scroll through the available options and choose what fits your presentation
Click on Go when ready
Once the interaction has loaded, click on Share App Screen to share your screen with your audience
Ask your audience to start typing in answers in the chat
With that, you've successfully connected StreamAlive to Zoom using the Zoom app.
