A discord bot that integrates Zoom setup through the Discord chat interface
Create a .env file that contains DISCORD_TOKEN
, AUTHORIZATION
(zoom), DISCORD_CHANNEL
, and DISCORD_GUILD
. Then create an app on zoom, and add your JWT token.
Due to lack of hosting, we cannot provide our discord token, so you may create your own bot application on discord and set that token as an environmental variable using our program.
To run, type python3 main.py
in the terminal.

We originally started out with a goal of creating a chat sync bot where it would sync the Zoom chat to the discord chat, and you could send messages to the chats by doing Zoom to Discord chat or Discord to Zoom chat. However, complications arose due to the fact that we did not have the proper authentication needed. We need OAUTH2 to access chat channels and get messages through the Zoom API, and this authentication is only provided if you submit an app to the Zoom marketplace. This requires a manual approval process from Zoom itself, and this would take time. This is similar to how you would submit an app to the Apple appstore. So we used JWT authentication instead, and found out that we were very limited in what we could do with the API with there being paid features or features that are locked to certain account types, so we settled on generating new meetings, and creating scheduling for said meetings.
