How to go live with integrations

Learn how to go live from video calling tools like Zoom, Webex and BlueJeans.

Workplace integrations with Zoom, Webex and BlueJeans allow you to broadcast live from your favorite tools directly to a Workplace group of your choosing. You’ll get the engagement power of Workplace, including features like Q&A, comments, reactions and insights, while ensuring your call is more accessible than ever with recordings, video clips, automatic and translated captions.
Organizations that use Live video integrations on Workplace use them to broadcast all kinds of calls. Here are just a few of their examples:
  • Team meetings: Teams on Workplace broadcast their meetings into their working groups to keep a record of their discussions and allow anyone that can’t make the call to catch up later. This is especially valuable for global teams who have difficulty scheduling meetings that work for everyone.
  • Presentations: Want to show off the results from a recent marketing campaign, product launch, research project, etc. with the entire company? Individuals, teams and departments, use Live video to share their hard work, celebrate achievements and keep people informed.
  • Virtual training sessions Hold virtual training sessions on your favorite video tools and broadcast them to a dedicated learning and development group on Workplace. Employees can catch up on the training session whenever they have time, or explore a whole library of training to learn new skills.
  • Employee resource groups: Employee resource groups (ERGs) use Live video to engage group members or the entire organization. They host panels with company and ERG leaders to discuss topics like DEI strategy or to celebrate cultural moments. Many even bring on external guests to speak.

This guide outlines how to go live to Workplace using integrations. To setup the integration for your Workplace community, an admin will need to enable it on Workplace and on your video calling tool. For information on how to do just that, visit the Technical Resources.
