How to use Zoom Integration in Academy LMS?

How to use Zoom Integration in Academy LMS?

Zoom is a web conferencing software that allows video conferencing and screen sharing with multiple people from any device. Zoom integration is highly useful for online teaching. The Academy LMS now seamlessly integrates with Zoom. Zoom offers great features for live video calling, screen sharing, and video recording, which will significantly increase collaboration between instructors and students.

“If you used a JWT app type to integrate Zoom with Academy LMS, you need to migrate to the server-to-server app type. According to their official announcement, the Zoom JWT app type will be deprecated!

Hence, you must migrate to the new server-to-server OAuth app and update your API setup by September 1, 2023.

The Zoom integration process with the Academy is very easy. You will need these two plugins installed and activated in order to use Zoom Integration:

  1. Academy LMS v1.9.16 or later
  2. Academy LMS Pro v1.8.6 or later

Although Zoom (both free and pro) can be linked with Academy LMS Pro, the pro version of Zoom is not offered as part of Academy LMS. If you wish to use Zoom’s pro capabilities, you must buy the pro edition of Zoom individually.
