Zoom Conference WP Plugin Documentation

Zoom Conference WP Plugin Documentation shows a basic few steps to integrate zoom plugin into WordPress. There are no complicated processes. Just the basic steps.

Getting Started with Zoom Conference WP Plugin for WordPress

Zoom conference WP exposes REST interfaces which allows the users to manage meetings, users, recordings, settings and get usage reports to WP admin dashboard.

Note: You need to have a paid zoom account in order to use this plugin feature connected with your zoom account.

1. First step is to goto https://zoom.us/developer.

You should see the above type of screen. Now, browse into REST APIs (https://zoom.us/developer/api/credential) section through here.

2. Click on Credentials tab and copy API Key and API Secret. Now, login to WordPress and goto Video Conference with zoom settings page. Install zoom plugin if you have not installed it yet.

Copy and paste your keys where headings are same as in zoom and save settings.

If you keys are incorrect then after refresh in settings page error message defining that api keys are incorrect will show. Like below:

If no errors are displayed then you have successfully connected with zoom and are now ready to control through WordPress.

Using Shortcodes to Add Meetings:

Currently, in Zoom conference WP the only way to insert a created meeting is by using short-codes. For example:

From version 2.0 you can directly add meetings from tinymce button. For example:

Click on the above highlighted button to choose a user and add a meeting to a certain post. Clicking on the highlighted icon will give option to add meeting short-code by dynamically choosing.

After clicking on the icon a modal box like alongside shown image should appear. If you have users in zoom then all those users will be shown here. Choose any one from them to view their meeting lists. However, do note that it will take some time to appear since, it is fetching data with API when processed.

You should see another modal popup after you have selected a user. Like below screenshot.

If a selected user does not have any meetings then a error dialog is shown else the meeting links are shown.

• Link Label: Is the link label; default is Start Video.
• ID and Class is the id for the generated link.
• Link Target is either to open in new browser tab or open in same tab.

Select a meeting and click on OK.

Your meeting short-code will be added and you can view link in front.

Hope these above few points help you. If any questions or suggestions please feel free to contact me via contact section.
