Zoom provides an API and OAuth-based authentication system that allows third-party platforms to schedule meetings, access user information, and more — securely and efficiently.

To integrate Zoom into your platform, you need:

• ✅ Zoom Account ID
• ✅ Zoom OAuth Client ID
• ✅ Zoom OAuth Client Secret

Here’s how to get them step-by-step:

---

✅ Step 1: Sign in to Zoom Marketplace

1. Visit the Zoom App Marketplace.
2. Click on the “Sign In” button at the top right and log in using your Zoom account credentials.

🔐 You must have a Pro, Business, or higher Zoom plan to access developer features.

---

✅ Step 2: Create a New App

1. Once logged in, click on the “Develop” menu (top-right corner).
2. Select “Build App” from the dropdown.
3. You’ll see several app types — choose “OAuth”.
4. Click the “Create” button under OAuth.

---

✅ Step 3: Configure OAuth App

1. App Type Selection

• Choose “Account-level app” if your integration will be used across your entire Zoom account (recommended for most platforms).
• Click “Create”.

2. App Info

Fill in the required fields:

• App Name
• Company Name
• Developer Contact Email

Click Continue.

---

✅ Step 4: Add Redirect URL and Whitelist URL

Zoom needs a Redirect URL to send the authorization code back to your application.

Required:

• Redirect URL for OAuth (provided by the platform where you’re integrating Zoom)
• Whitelist URL (same as the domain of your redirect URL)

📌 Example:
If the platform gives you this redirect URL:
https://yourplatform.com/zoom/callback
Use it in both the Redirect URL and Whitelist URL fields.

Click Continue.

---

✅ Step 5: Copy Your Client ID and Client Secret

Once you fill in the basic info and URLs, Zoom will generate the credentials:

• ✅ Client ID
• ✅ Client Secret

🔒 Keep these credentials confidential. Never expose them on the frontend.

---

✅ Step 6: Get Your Zoom Account ID

You can find your Zoom Account ID by:

Method 1: Using Zoom Developer Portal

1. Go to Zoom Developer Dashboard.
2. Click on your OAuth app.
3. In the App Credentials section, locate Account ID.

Method 2: Using Zoom Web Portal

1. Visit Zoom Web Portal.
2. Navigate to: Admin > Account Profile
3. You’ll see the Account Number or Account ID listed there.

---

✅ Step 7: Enable Scopes for API Access

Scopes determine what permissions your Zoom app has.

Click the “Scopes” tab and add the required scopes. Common ones include:

• meeting:read
• meeting:write
• user:read
• user:read:admin
• recording:read (if you need access to recordings)

Click Add Scopes, then Continue.

---

✅ Step 8: Activate Your App

Once all fields are filled and scopes are set:

1. Click “Continue” until you reach the “Activation” page.
2. Click the “Activate your app” button.

---

✅ Step 9: Add Credentials to Your Platform

Go to the Zoom settings section on your platform (e.g., admin panel or plugin settings) and input:

• 🔑 Zoom Client ID
• 🔐 Zoom Client Secret
• 🆔 Zoom Account ID
• 🔁 Redirect URL (if required by the platform)

Save your settings.

---

✅ Step 10: Test the Connection

Once saved, test the connection by:

• Trying to schedule a meeting
• Authorizing your Zoom account (you may be redirected to a Zoom login page)
• Confirming that the integration works without errors
