Moodle plugin for Zoom meeting

Primary LanguagePHP

Intro

Zoom is the web and app based video conferencing service (http://zoom.us). 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 JWT app to be created. To create an account-level JWT app the Developer Role Permission is required.

See https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/build/jwt-app. You will need to create a JWT app and that will generate the API key and secret.

Installation

  1. Install plugin to mod/zoom. More details at https://docs.moodle.org/39/en/Installing_plugins#Installing_a_plugin
  2. Once you install the plugin you need to set the following set the following settings to enable the plugin:
  • Zoom API key (mod_zoom | apikey)
  • Zoom API secret (mod_zoom | apisecret)
  • Zoom home page URL (mod_zoom | zoomurl), Link to your organization's custom Zoom landing page.

Please note that the API key and secret is not the same as the LTI key/secret.

If you get "Access token is expired" errors, make sure the date/time on your server is properly synchronized with the time servers.
