In-person vs online events
When setting up your event, you can choose to have either an in-person or online event. Online events allow you to distribute meeting URLs (such as Zoom personal meeting URLs) to attendees.
Depending on what option you choose will change the behaviour for staff and caregivers managing or attending this event.
| In-person | Online |
| A optional location can be set for the event, such as a school hall where all bookings will be held. | No event location can be set. |
| A "Staff Rooms" option appears under the Settings menu when the event is created. | A "Staff Meeting Links" option appears under the Settings menu when the event is created. |
| Within the Staff Rooms page, staff can optionally be given a location where their bookings will be held, such as their classroom, which overrides the event location. | Within the Staff Meeting Links page, staff can have a link assigned to them for caregivers to use for their online booking, such as a Zoom personal meeting URL |
| When staff are added to an event, their default classroom is used. | When staff are added to an event, their default meeting URL is used. |
It is the school's responsibility to set up the meeting URLs for teachers, depending on what video conferencing tool is used.
