Configuring the Zoom Extension

Overview

The Zoom Extension enables UniversitySite to create and manage Zoom meetings for live instructor-led training events using Server-to-Server OAuth App created in Zoom. A Server-to-Server OAuth app enables you to securely integrate with Zoom APIs and get your account owner access token without user interaction. With the Server-to-Server OAuth app, the Client ID and Secret Value can be obtained by a Zoom Administrator (with Developer Role permissions) with experience authenticating web apps. See the full article here. 

Note: Before a Developer can create the Server-to-Server OAuth App in Zoom, the Zoom Account Owner must grant Developers role-based access permissions in Zoom to edit a Server-to-Server OAuth app.
