Video Settings
During onboarding there is an item on your To-Do list called Video conference setup. When you select Begin it opens the Video settings page. Here, set up a recurring video conference link that you and your coach will use to meet for your sessions.
On the video settings page you may see the option Zoom meeting powered by Skillsoft Coaching. If you select this option you are provided with a meeting link to meet with your coach. Your organization may turn this option off, or you may just choose to use a different video conference platform. In this case, select My preferred video service.
