Create and Manage a Virtual Event as an App Admin

Virtual events can be used for alumni meetings, 12-step meetings and other support services. These work very well to meet the needs of app members who can’t physically attend events.

To create a Virtual Event you’ll need an account on your app that is linked to a Zoom account. If you have questions about this, please reach out to our team at support@caredfor.com.

To create the event navigate to the menu > dashboard > events. 

• Tap “+ New Event” to begin. Add a title, description, image or link. 

• Under “Event Type” choose either “Virtual Webinar” or "Virtual Meeting".

• Choose an "Alternate Host" - this optional field will give a second administrator the ability to start the Zoom session.

• Choose start date, start time, end date, end time. Be sure you fill in all of this info entirely.

• Choose the timezone.

• Populate the Webinar or Meeting ID # by tapping the green “+” button.

• Publish to the team who needs to be made aware of the event.

• If you need to make this event recurring, you can do so under “Repeats”.

• Tap Save.

The event will appear on the For You page and in the menu > events section of the app just like in-person events.

Note - By default Zoom webinars have attendees muted and video capabilities are turned "off". Use the Virtual Meeting option if you prefer to have your attendees unmuted and/or want to allow video, or if you do not have the webinar package included in your Zoom account.
