Teaching online? Mark a lesson as Online and paste your meeting link — from Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or any video tool. LessonLoop shows everyone a Join lesson button at the right moment, so nobody has to dig an email out before class.
Add a link to a lesson
- On the Calendar, create a new lesson or open an existing one.
- Tick Online lesson.
- Paste your meeting link into the box that appears. It must be a full https:// web address (that’s what every Zoom/Meet/Teams link is).
- Save. You can do this when you first book the lesson or add it later by editing the lesson.
A link works for a single lesson or a whole recurring series — set it once and every lesson in the series carries it.
Good to know Only secure https:// links are accepted — if a link is rejected, copy it again straight from your meeting tool. To take a lesson back offline, just untick Online lesson and save.
Where the Join button appears
Once a lesson has a link:
- Parents see a Join button on their Schedule in the parent portal — it becomes prominent from about 15 minutes before the lesson starts — and a Join lesson button in their lesson-reminder email.
- You and your team see a Join lesson link on the lesson itself.
Everyone opens the same link in a new tab, so they go straight into your meeting.
Coming later
One-click Zoom meeting creation (where LessonLoop makes the meeting for you) is on the way. For now you paste your own link, which works with every video platform — not just Zoom.
