Video Conferencing for Online Tutoring & Coaching
Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams meeting links generated automatically for every online session in Gigpie. No separate scheduling step required.
Online sessions add a step generic scheduling tools don't handle well: someone has to create the meeting link, attach it to the booking, and make sure both sides can find it. Gigpie generates that link automatically at the moment a session is booked, for whichever platform your educator uses.
The Online Session Problem
Without automatic meeting generation, running online sessions means:
- Manually creating a Zoom/Meet/Teams link for every booking
- Copy-pasting the link into a confirmation email or text
- Educators who forget to send the link before the session starts
- Families searching old emails to find the right meeting URL
How Gigpie Handles Video
Automatic Link Generation
When a session is booked as online, Gigpie generates the meeting link automatically and attaches it to the booking — no manual step for the educator or the family.
Multiple Platforms Supported
- Zoom - Meeting links generated directly through the Zoom API
- Google Meet - Generated from synced Google Calendar events for educators who run their schedule through Google
- Microsoft Teams - Online meeting links generated through Microsoft Graph for Outlook-connected educators
Educators aren't forced onto a single platform — Gigpie generates the right kind of link based on how each educator's calendar is connected.
One Place to Join
Whether a family is looking at the parent portal, a calendar invite, or an SMS reminder, the same meeting link is attached everywhere, so there's no confusion about which link is current.
Who This Helps
Fully online tutoring and coaching businesses get this as core infrastructure, not an add-on. Hybrid businesses running both in-person and online sessions get the same booking flow either way — the meeting link only appears when a session is actually set up as online.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do educators need their own Zoom or Google/Microsoft account?
Yes, meeting links are generated through the educator's connected Zoom account or their synced Google/Microsoft calendar.
Can a family join without downloading an app?
That depends on the platform each educator uses — Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams all support joining from a browser, subject to each platform's own requirements.
What if an educator switches from Zoom to Google Meet?
Meeting generation follows how the educator's calendar is connected, so switching calendar providers changes which platform's links get generated going forward.
