You can now use Zoom meetings as gated live stream content on Uscreen! This allows you to schedule, promote, and restrict access to your Zoom-based sessions just like you would with a standard live stream—without needing to use RTMP or the built-in Live Studio.
🚀 How It Works
Set up your live stream as usual
Navigate to Live Events
Click Create Live Event
Choose Zoom as the live stream type
Paste in your Zoom meeting link
Create a Zoom meeting in your Zoom account
Copy the meeting link and paste it into the Meeting Link field in Uscreen
Add a title, description, and access rules like any other event
Save your changes
Set the visibility & publish your stream
Choose to Publish your live stream if you want members to preregister
Once your countdown timer hits 0, a “Join Zoom” button appears instead of a video player
Clicking this button opens Zoom and takes the user to your meeting
Start your live stream.
Users will be able to access the meeting link once you're live:
📱 Cross-Platform Behavior
Mobile apps: Users tap “Join Zoom” and their Zoom app opens automatically
TV apps: Since Zoom meetings don’t open on TVs, we show a QR code that users can scan with their phone to join
Accessing Zoom Links: Users must be on the latest version of apps (3.2.3+) to see Zoom meetings in the app.
⚠️ Important Notes
Recording: Unlike the Uscreen Live Studio or RTMP streams, Zoom streams are not recorded by Uscreen.
If you want a replay, you’ll need to record the session manually in Zoom.
Privacy: Access to the Zoom link is gated just like any other content — based on pricing plans or content access rules.
Zoom pricing: You may need a paid Zoom account to access certain features.
