Zoom Webinar on WordPress
This post will help you set up a Zoom Webinar on WordPress. It requires that you have purchased the Webinar addon from your Zoom account and installed the Zoom WordPress Plugin.
Steps to Embed Webinar on WordPress
- Schedule a Webinar from your Zoom account.
- Copy the Webinar ID as shown below.
- Select the new Gutenberg block added by the plugin and place your Webinar ID inside it. If you are not using the default WordPress editor(Gutenberg) then you can see another option to embed the Webinar on your WordPress page in this post.
- Navigate to the WordPress page where the Webinar was embedded with a logged-in site administrator or the meeting host(same WordPress login email as the Webinar host email). Click Join via Web if you want to start the Webinar as a host right from the WordPress site or click Join Via Zoom App to begin the Webinar from the Zoom App.
- Once started by the host the attendees can visit the page, enter their name, email, and click Join Via Web to enter it from the same WordPress page without the need for a Zoom app.
Note: If the attendee is logged into the WordPress site then they will see the email field as that is prefilled with their WP login email.
- Once an attendee clicks the Join via Web they will see the Webinar window on the WordPress page.
That’s it. If you have any other questions feel free to reach out here or comment below!
How does remove Join via app button from the meeting page
Hello Charitha, you can do that from: Zoom Meetings -> Settings -> Visual -> Hide Join via App
Okay, thank you. The email field is limited to 32 characters, is it possible to increase this?
Thank you for pointing this out. It will be fixed in the v4.12.3 update.
Hello,
is it possible to disable the e-mail input for logging into a webinar (Point 5)?
Thank you.
The email field is required for the Zoom Webinar and It can not be removed.
I can’t see any option to create a webinar, only a zoom meeting
Hello Mike
The option to create a Webinar directly from the WordPress site is not available at the moment. Please feel free to add this as a feature request here.
