Google Meet
PlusPlus integrates seamlessly with Google Meet, allowing organizers to create Google Meet conference links automatically when scheduling events. This ensures smooth virtual conference scheduling and attendance tracking.
Enabling Google Meet Integration
To enable Google Meet integration, your Google Admins need to approve the PlusPlus App. Once approved, organizers can automatically create Google Meet conference links within PlusPlus. This streamlines the scheduling process for virtual conferences.

Zoom
With Zoom, you can create or add your personal Zoom links to event types, which will then automatically add these Zoom links to any event you schedule. This allows for seamless virtual event management using Zoom. This is fairly simplistic as you basically create your link in Zoom or use your personal link and paste it into your event type for recurring use or just your event.
Teams
With Teams, you can create or add your personal Teams links to event types, which will then automatically add these Teams links to any event you schedule. This allows for seamless virtual event management using Teams.
Automatic Check-Ins
If self check-ins are enabled, attendees can be automatically checked in when joining events via your virtual conference provider. The auto check-in on VC join setting creates a join link that automatically checks people into events when they join via video conference. The link is available on the event details page and in invites.
The link navigates the attendee to PlusPlus for automatic check-in before redirecting them to the video conference. If the attendee is not logged into PlusPlus, clicking the link will first navigate them to the login page and then to the video conference after logging in.
You can manage this setting globally at Settings > Events > Attendance Policies > Check-in, or for individual event types and events at the event Edit page > Attendance Policies > Check-in.

Promoting Auto Check-In Over Virtual Conference Links
To increase the likelihood that attendees will use the auto check-in link, you can configure settings to ensure the auto check-in process is prioritized over the direct links provided by your virtual conference provider.
Bypass Auto Check-In for Video Conferences
In scenarios where external enrollees need to join the event without checking in, you can enable the Auto check-in bypass on VC join. This provides an additional link on the meeting invite to join the video conference directly, bypassing the PlusPlus check-in process. Note that internal team members using this link will not be checked in and will be given a no-show status.
This setting can be useful as a backup for users who cannot sign into PlusPlus, though it may result in lower check-in rates and inaccurate attendance statuses.
Bulk Enroll and Check-In for Video Conferences
For events where a virtual conference link has been shared and people have joined without enrolling first, admins can bulk enroll and check in participants to capture accurate attendance data. To do this:
Copy the full list of email addresses from the virtual conference participants.
Access the event in PlusPlus.
Open the context menu and select Manage Attendance.
Click Enroll, change the Email filter operator to Any of, and paste the email addresses.
Turn on Force check-in to automatically check in the people you're enrolling.
This process ensures no double enrollment and captures attendance accurately.
