  • Server to Server OAuth Credentials

    • Account ID – Unique identifier of your Zoom account required for authenticating API requests.

    • Client ID – Public identifier of your Server-to-Server OAuth app created in the Zoom App Marketplace. It allows your LMS to connect with your Zoom account securely.

    • Client Secret – Private key paired with the Client ID used to authorize and authenticate API communication between your LMS and Zoom.

  • Meeting SDK Credentials

    • Client ID – Identifier of your Zoom Meeting SDK app that enables users to join meetings directly from the browser or within your LMS interface.

    • Client Secret – Secret key for your Meeting SDK app, ensuring secure authentication when users join or host meetings via the embedded Zoom SDK.

  • Generate Password – When enabled, the system automatically generates a secure password for each new meeting or webinar. If disabled, meetings will not have a password unless manually set.

What are Server-to-Server OAuth credentials, and why are they needed?

Server-to-Server OAuth credentials are used to connect your LMS directly to your Zoom account through a secure API connection. They let the system perform Zoom-related actions — such as creating, updating, or deleting meetings — automatically on behalf of instructors, without requiring each user to sign in to Zoom. You can get these credentials by creating a Server-to-Server OAuth app in the Zoom App Marketplace. Once added, your LMS will be able to manage meetings and webinars seamlessly.

What are Meeting SDK credentials, and what do they do?

Meeting SDK credentials enable the Join in Browser feature that allows participants to join Zoom meetings directly inside your LMS interface — no external Zoom app required. These credentials authenticate the embedded meeting experience securely and ensure smooth integration. You can obtain them by creating a Meeting SDK app in the Zoom App Marketplace and entering the provided Client ID and Client Secret into your addon settings.

How to Obtain APIs?

To obtain API credentials, visit the Zoom App Marketplace at https://marketplace.zoom.us/ and sign in with your Zoom account. If you don't have a Zoom account, you can create one using this link.

Our plugin requires Server-to-Server OAuth and Meeting SDK APIs to connect with Zoom and use its functionalities.

To make the Zoom Credentials work, the SSL should be activated on your domain.

How to use Zoom Meetings?

To make sure the instructors can select a Zoom Conference lesson type in the Frontend Course Builder, go to WP Dashboard > Users > Select user > Edit User. Scroll down to the Zoom Settings, find the Meeting Host section, and Select Host from the dropdown menu.

The Zoom Conference addon allows you to easily add new users. Those users can be added as Hosts, which means that they will be able to host and create their own meetings.

Please note that for each Instructor on the website, the admin should specify the Host. Multiple instructors can be applied to the same Host if you have a free Zoom account with only one Host available. In that case, those instructors can add and conduct video sessions themselves. But they can't stream conferences at the same time.

If there are many instructors and there is a possibility of having conferences at the same time, you need to purchase a premium Zoom plan with a larger number of hosts: https://zoom.us/pricing

To add a new user, go to WP Dashboard > Zoom Conference > Users > Add User, and on the new page, fill in the necessary information and save.

On this page, you can see all the users in your account.
