Built-in video meeting rooms
Planned: host video meetings with screen sharing directly from booked appointments.
This feature is planned and its details may change.
Why it matters
Would let you run consultations and virtual estimates without paying for a separate video tool.
The HLB difference
Meeting links would be created with the booking and recorded on the contact record.
How it works
You would host video meetings with screen sharing right from booked appointments.
Built-in video meeting rooms are planned for HLB. They would let service businesses meet clients over video without leaving the platform. This feature is proposed and not available yet.
As planned, meeting rooms would include screen sharing built for presentations, training, support sessions and detailed client work:
- Full-screen mode, so participants could expand a shared screen without thumbnails or chat panels in the way.
- Zoom controls, so each participant could zoom in or out on shared content without changing anyone else's view.
- System audio sharing, so presenters could share videos and demos with sound.
- Sharing quality of up to 1080p at 30 frames per second would give sharper visuals and smoother motion.
For example, a home remodeler could walk a client through a design or an estimate on screen. A salon owner could run a short training session for staff.
As planned, HLB calendars could also add video links to booked appointments through Google Meet. You would connect a Google Calendar in the calendar connections area (Video Conferencing section) and set it as the linked calendar. Each new appointment would then get its own Google Meet link that participants could join with one click. Only one connected calendar could be the linked calendar. Removing the Google Calendar connection would also remove Google Meet, and future appointments would no longer include links.
