2. Use iframe feature to embed your form (Typeform, Google or WordPress forms) by simply pasting the form link into the search field;

By integrating Twitter or Instagram feeds together with your Zoom webinars, you can boost user-generated content and hashtag relevance. Run social media contests and encourage your audience to share your event on social media:

  1. Choose Twitter or Instagram as a content source
  2. Type a specific hashtag you’re looking for in the search bar (alternatively, you can search for Twitter content without using hashtag)
  3. Filter your search by choosing to see retweets, images or videos only

#3: Add collaborative spaces​

Zoom is great, but the collaboration options are limited. Fortunately, you are not restricted in your choices. doWow allows you to hook up tools such as Miro boards or AirTable for collaborative sessions such as seminars, workshops or brainstorming sessions. 

In order to add a Miro board to your Zoom meeting or webinar, simply extract the embed code link of your Miro board and add it to your layout using the iframe feature.

#4: Embed your e-commerce shop​

Planning a product showcase, tutorial or campaign? Embedding your webshop right next to your Zoom meeting will enable your audience to purchase products easily – no need to scroll or leave the event page, you can sell as you host the meeting.

1. Create your event page layout, add Zoom meeting or webinar

2. Allocate a tile for your product page(s)

3. Using iframe feature, paste the link to your product page (make sure your webshop allows iframing).
