Online Meetings

Online meeting configurations are defined in src/site.config.ts. Reference them by key in event frontmatter to keep meeting links consistent and easy to update.

Using Online Meetings

Add the onlineMeeting field to your event frontmatter with the key of a configured meeting:

---
title: "Virtual Elmer Session"
onlineMeeting: "microhams-teams"
---

The event page will automatically display:

The meeting platform (Teams, Zoom, etc.)
A "Join Online" button linking to the meeting
Meeting ID and passcode (if configured)
Dial-in phone numbers (if configured)
Recording disclaimer (if configured)

Hybrid Events

For events with both in-person and online attendance, include both venue and onlineMeeting:

---
title: "February Club Meeting"
venue: "building-31"
onlineMeeting: "microhams-teams"
---

The event page will display the physical location with a map and the online join link. This is the standard setup for monthly club meetings.

Tip: List the venue first in your frontmatter. It makes the YAML more readable and matches the order information appears on the event page.

Adding New Configurations

If you need a new meeting configuration (e.g., a different Zoom account for special events), add it to src/site.config.ts in the onlineMeetings object.

When to add a new configuration

Different platform — A new Zoom, Teams, or Jitsi account
Different purpose — Elmer sessions vs. board meetings vs. general meetings
Different organizer — Meeting hosted by a different person's account

When NOT to add a new configuration

One-time meeting — Use a custom virtualLink field instead
Same link, different name — Just use the existing configuration

Minimum required fields

At minimum, every meeting configuration needs:

platform — For display and styling
name — For display
link — The join URL
