Step 1 - Create API Key and API Secret

To create an API Key and API secret for Zoom, login as an administrator and perform the following:

  1. Login to Zoom using an existing administrator account (must be an admin account).
  2. Select 'Zoom for Developers' under the 'Advanced' heading.
  3. In the new window that opens (Zoom for Developers), select your name in the upper right and click Developer Account.
  4. Fill out the Details Tab and check the Web / API checkbox under platforms and click save.
  5. On the API Tab generate and copy the API Key and the API Secret.

That’s it! You should now have your API Key and API Secret, with which Zoom can be added to the Vyopta Data Collector.

Note: Make sure to record your API Key and API Secret as they will be used to connect Zoom via API.

 

Step 2 - Add a Zoom Connector

To add a Zoom Connector requires the following:

  • Access to your organization’s Zoom API URL
  • Credentials for your API Key and API Secret
  • Vyopta Data Collector version 3.4.1 or higher

Please follow the instructions below to add your Zoom instance to Data Collection:

  1. Select Zoom Server in the Infrastructure Type drop-down menu.
  2. Enter the Zoom name and description as desired.
  3. Next, enter the default API URL and make sure SSL is checked.
  4. Click Validate and Next if the API URL passes validation.

Note: The default Zoom API URL is “api.zoom.us”, however this should reflect the URL of the Zoom infrastructure and may vary for on-premise deployment.
  1. After that, enter the API Key and API Secret.
  2. Click Validate to ensure that the Vyopta Data Collector application can connect.
  3. If the connection succeeded, click the Save button.

Note: Enabling Zoom Rooms for data collection may require adjustments in the Zoom Room name and display name used by your organization. To enable Zoom Room tracking and matching, please note that all Zoom Room names and display names must be identical. Additionally, all Room Names must be unique.
