Zoom is a web- and app-based video conferencing service. This plugin offers tight integration with Moodle, supporting meeting creation, synchronization, grading and backup/restore.
Click the badge below to open this plugin instantly in Moodle Playground — a full Moodle site running in the browser, with no local install. The demo includes a course with a stub Zoom activity so you can preview the activity view, the mod_form, and the plugin's admin settings.
Note: This demo uses placeholder Zoom credentials, so real Zoom meetings cannot be created or joined. The Join / Start buttons will not work — this preview is intended for UI and admin-settings inspection only.
This plugin is designed for Educational or Business Zoom accounts.
To connect to the Zoom APIs, this plugin requires an account-level app to be created.
To create an account-level Server-to-Server OAuth app, the Server-to-server OAuth app
permission is required. You should create a separate Server-to-Server OAuth app for each Moodle install.
The Server-to-Server OAuth app will generate a client ID, client secret and account ID.
