Top Q&A Questions:

  • How do zoom links display when an online organizer creates an event? 
    • Alissa: It’ll  have a symbol letting you know that it’s online, and assume a shortcut link. Typically when you use zoom, this is the link that they provide you with. If you are a member of that group, or have RSVPed, I believe the link will appear on the side. If you are not RSVPed or you’re not a member, the zoom link will not be visible.
  • Can you create an online group that’s advertised across multiple countries?
    • Alex: It’s a great idea, it’s not currently possible on meetup. But definitely something worth thinking about.
  • How many people can join one group?
    • Gwyn: it is unlimited
