Online book clubs, rejoice! Your book club discussion just got easier with the latest update from the Bookclubs app. We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our most exciting premium feature yet for Bookclubs Pro Plus subscribers: in-app video meetings! Take your online book club experience to a whole new level without having to use a separate video meeting platform. With our new integrated video meeting tool, you can now host your online book club discussion directly through the Bookclubs integrated in-app video meeting feature, just like you would at a traditional book club gathering.
With Bookclubs in-app video meetings, there's no need to worry about setting up and paying for external video conferencing platforms (no more than 40-minute minimums!), all you need is a Bookclubs Pro Plus subscription. Everything you need for a successful virtual meeting is conveniently integrated within your book club portal such as book selection, automated calendar syncing, RSVPs, and meeting reminders. Members can attend club video meetings via the Bookclubs web platform or the Bookclubs app – making video meetings easy to schedule and easy to join!
Our in-app video meetings offer features designed to enhance your book club experience. From built-in chat boxes for quick exchanges to screen-sharing capabilities, engage in fun, thought-provoking discussions with the following meeting features:

Q: What is the meeting time limit for Bookclubs video meetings?
A: There is a 4-hour maximum time limit on video meetings (no more 40-minute maximums!)
Q: Why is my video meeting not opening?
A: Make sure your browser of choice is updated. If the video meeting window does not open in your current browser, try using a different browser (e.g., Chrome, Safari).
Q: Where do I find the video meeting link?
A: Once the meeting is submitted, a virtual link to the meeting will be created and shared with you club members via the Meeting tab. Members can enter the video meeting through the meetings tab, or by clicking on the link (which will also be included in their calendar invite).
Q: I don't see the Join/Start meeting button
A: You can't start or join a video meeting more than 15 min in advance of the scheduled meeting time (the start/join buttons on the meetings tab won't appear until 15 min before the scheduled start time.)
