How to Set Lesson Reminders and Notifications

Now that you’ve synced zoom with your phone’s calendar, follow these quick steps to set notifications for lessons to ensure that you never miss a lesson.

For iCal on iPhone/iPad:
If your iPhone’s notifications are turned on, skip to step 5 to set up reminders for a specific event.

  1. First, let’s make sure that your iphone settings will allow calendar notifications. Go to Settings.
  2. Under Settings, Tap on Notifications.
  3. You should see a list of all the apps on your phone that can send notifications. Tap on Calendar and make sure that Allow Notifications is turned on.
  4. You should also see Upcoming Events right below the allow notifications button. Tap this too and make sure that Allow Notifications is also turned on there. Here, you can also set the type of alerts you want to receive.

Now that notifications have been turned on, let’s go to the calendar app and set a reminder for the lesson.

  1. Go to your calendar and click on the scheduled lesson. This will take you to Event Details.
