Last week the team at My Music Staff worked hard to deliver a much-requested Skype integration for music teachers making the switch to online lessons. This week, we’ve been focusing on two other integrations requested by our members: Zoom and FaceTime! These integrations will allow for seamless online teaching with MMS.
Here’s how to get your studio set up for online lessons:
Zoom
Zoom is a popular video conferencing platform that you can use to teach private lessons and group lessons. First you’ll need to sign up with Zoom if you don’t already have an account. Then, add your Personal Meeting ID to My Music Staff. Click here for single teacher studio instructions and here for multi-teacher studio instructions.
Next, you’ll need to add lessons to your Calendar:
- Navigate to the “Calendar” from the main menu on the left
- Click the “Categories” button above the calendar
- Select the “Locations” tab and click the “Add Location” button
- Give your new location a name and choose an icon to represent this location
- Choose the “Zoom Meeting” option
- When scheduling a lesson, choose the appropriate location from the “Location” drop-down menu
You can begin your Zoom meeting by clicking the location from the event details or from your Home Agenda by clicking the Zoom Meeting button. Students can join the Zoom meeting by clicking the link in the Student Portal Calendar, or the link in their email reminder.
Note: The Zoom Basic plan has a 40-minute time limit on meetings with 3 or more participants.
