The Zoho Meeting integration lets you start or schedule online meetings from inside Zoho Projects. To schedule meetings from the calendar, from a task's details page, or from a custom module record's details page, you need a paid Zoho Meeting subscription and the integration enabled in Zoho Projects. The newest addition is that you can now start or schedule a meeting straight from a custom module record.
Availability: all paid plans of Zoho Projects. A paid subscription to Zoho Meeting is required.
Turn the integration on
In your Zoho Projects setup, go to Integrations, then Zoho Apps, and enable Zoho Meeting. Make sure the integration is on before you schedule or start any meeting.
Benefits
- Add meetings to your calendar and set reminders.
- Start instant meetings with team members.
- Record meetings and watch them later.
Worked example: a remote software team
A software company with remote staff manages its projects in Zoho Projects. A team lead wants to discuss client requirements and project goals with the team, and inviting everyone by hand is tedious. After integrating Zoho Meeting, he sets up the online meeting straight from Zoho Projects. It appears in everyone's calendar, and people can set their own reminders.

Schedule from the calendar
