How to Integrate Zoom Meetings With ProProfs Classroom
Connecting Zoom with ProProfs Training Maker helps you manage both self-paced courses and live sessions in one place, without needing to juggle different tools. This is especially helpful for organizations running blended learning programs, onboarding remote teams, or hosting compliance training where attendance tracking matters.
Once integrated, instructors can schedule Zoom meetings directly from their classrooms, notify learners instantly, and track sessions alongside course progress, saving admins and instructors a lot of time on manual coordination.
Real-world examples:
-
A nonprofit training team embedded Zoom meetings directly into their ProProfs Training Maker classroom. Learners could access monthly compliance webinars without leaving their training environment, improving overall course completion rates by 22%.
-
An interpreter academy used ProProfs Training Maker to schedule and announce live Zoom sessions inside the classroom stream. Compared to manual email invites, this reduced missed practice sessions by 30%.
-
A healthcare company onboarded new hires using a combination of ProProfs self-paced modules and Zoom-hosted live Q&A sessions, all managed inside the same platform. This integration helped them cut administrative setup time by almost half during orientation weeks.
Benefits of Zoom Meetings integration:
-
Simplified access for learners: Students can join Zoom sessions from inside their classroom without switching apps or managing separate login credentials.

-
Streamlined tracking: Zoom attendance reports can be paired with course progress to get a fuller picture of learner engagement.

FAQs:
1. Do learners need separate Zoom accounts to join live sessions scheduled through ProProfs Training Maker?
No, learners can join Zoom sessions directly from their ProProfs classroom dashboard. They do not need to separate Zoom accounts unless the meeting organizer has restricted guest access in their Zoom settings.
2. Will meetings created in ProProfs Training Maker automatically update if I edit them in Zoom?
No, changes made directly inside your Zoom dashboard (like time or meeting link updates) do not automatically reflect inside ProProfs. If you update a Zoom meeting externally, remember to manually update or recreate the meeting inside your classroom to avoid confusion for learners.
3. Can I track attendance for Zoom sessions through ProProfs Training Maker?
ProProfs itself does not automatically record Zoom attendance. However, you can access Zoom's attendance reports and manually cross-reference them with your ProProfs learner list or link attendance to course checkpoints like quizzes or feedback forms.
