Each Instructor Needs to Connect Their Own Zoom Account
The admin’s account can not be shared by all the instructors due to various reasons like rescheduling the meeting or cancellation. So, to have better control over the meetings, each instructor must connect their own API details from their dashboard.
Create a Zoom Account
To get started, you need to create a Zoom account first, if you don’t have one. Visit Zoom’s website and sign up to create an account. You can use a free or paid version of Zoom with YOUniversity. The same functions and restrictions apply with YOUniversity as using Zoom on its own.
Create a Server-to-Server OAuth App
After creating an account, you must create an app that will connect YOUniversity to Zoom, and configure it. Follow the steps below:
Step 1:
Go to the Zoom App Marketplace Developer Dashboard (https://marketplace.zoom.us/develop) and log in with your Zoom account. Scroll down to find Server-to-Server. Click on “Create” under the Server-to-Server OAuth app type.
Step2:
Fill in the App Name field and click on Create. This will take you to the App credentials page. But first, you need to fill in the required Information & Scopes to Activate your app.
Step 3:
Go to Information to set your Company Name and Developer Contact Information, i.e. your name and email address.
Step 4:
Go to Scopes and configure your app’s necessary scopes based on your YOUniversity integration requirements. We recommend you select all the scopes for Meeting, Webinar, Recording, and User.
5. Step 5:
Go to Activation, and activate your app.
Obtain the App Credentials
Once your Server-to-Server OAuth app is activated, Go to App Credentials to obtain the Account ID, Client ID, and Client Secret. Keep these credentials handy as you will need them in the following step.
Connect Zoom to YOUniversity
Finally, the last step is to connect Zoom to YOUniversity. To do this, head over to your dashboard, and navigate to Zoom > Set API.
Add the new Server-to-Server OAuth app credentials (Account ID, Client ID, and Client Secret) obtained in the previous step.
Click on Save & Check Connection to update the integration settings.
All Done!
If the steps have been followed correctly, you’ll be notified that the integration was successful. You can now head to your course and schedule meetings in the same way you would for a normal Zoom meeting.
If the integration wasn’t successful, please carry out the procedure again. If you’re having trouble and need assistance, please contact us.
