How to connect Zoom in lemcal

Everything you need to know about our lemcal and Zoom integration

Updated today

By the end of this tutorial, you’ll know how to connect or disconnect Zoom in lemcal from the Settings > Integrations page, set Zoom as your default meeting location, and choose it for specific meeting types when you need different booking experiences.


Why this matters

Using Zoom as a meeting location helps you automatically generate meeting links and keep your scheduling workflow consistent. Connecting it from the Integrations page gives you a central place to manage the integration, while setting it at both the account level and the meeting type level gives you more control over how bookings are handled.


Prerequisites

  • You should already have access to your lemcal workspace.

  • You should already have a Zoom account ready to connect.

  • If you want to use Zoom for a default or specific meeting type, Zoom must first be connected in lemcal.


Core lesson — step-by-step workflow

Phase 1: Connect or disconnect Zoom from Integrations

This phase manages the Zoom integration itself. Before you can use Zoom as a meeting location, it needs to be connected in lemcal.

1 - Open your settings: From your lemcal workspace, click your profile in the bottom-left corner, then select Settings.

Open Settings from the profile menu in lemcal

2 - Connect Zoom: In Settings, open Integrations and click Connect on the Zoom card. Then follow the prompts to authorize your Zoom account.

3 - Disconnect Zoom: If Zoom is already connected and you want to remove it from lemcal, go to Settings > Integrations and click Disconnect on the Zoom card.

Once Zoom is connected, it becomes available as a selectable meeting location in your account and meeting type settings.


Phase 2: Set Zoom as your default meeting location

This phase sets your account-wide default. It’s useful if you want new meetings to use Zoom automatically unless you choose a different location later.

1 - Set Zoom as your default meeting location: In Preferences, go to the Meeting location section and select Zoom. This makes Zoom your default location for future scheduling.

Select Zoom as the default meeting location from Preferences

Once this is configured, Zoom becomes your default meeting location across lemcal unless a specific meeting type is set differently.


Phase 3: Choose Zoom for an individual meeting type

This phase is helpful when you want one meeting type to use Zoom without changing your account-wide default. It gives you more flexibility for different booking scenarios.

1 - Open the meeting type you want to edit: In the left sidebar, click Meeting types, then select the meeting type you want to update. This opens that meeting type’s settings so you can customize how bookings are handled.

Open a specific meeting type from the Meeting types page

2 - Set Zoom as the event location for that meeting type: In the meeting type editor, stay on General, go to the Event location section, open the location dropdown, and select Zoom. This applies Zoom only to that meeting type, which is useful if different meeting types need different locations.

After saving, bookings made through that meeting type will use Zoom as the event location.


Practical application

For example, you might keep Google Meet as your default meeting location for most internal or quick calls, but switch a 15-minute intro meeting to Zoom because your external clients prefer it. This setup lets you tailor the booking experience without changing the rest of your workspace.
