Intro

Zoom is a web- and app-based video conferencing service. This plugin offers tight integration with Moodle, supporting meeting creation, synchronization, grading and backup/restore.

Prerequisites

This plugin is designed for Educational or Business Zoom accounts.

To connect to the Zoom APIs, this plugin requires an account-level app to be created.

Server-to-Server OAuth

To create an account-level Server-to-Server OAuth app, the Server-to-server OAuth app permission is required. You should create a separate Server-to-Server OAuth app for each Moodle install.

The Server-to-Server OAuth app will generate a client ID, client secret and account ID.
