The Zoom plugin integrates Zoom meetings into DPCalendar and extends native events with Zoom online conferencing functionality. Means you can add a meeting number and password to a DPCalendar event and then it is possible to join the meeting directly from within DPCalendar.
In the following steps we tell you how to obtain the Zoom API key and API secret to your DPCalendar - Zoom plugin.
After you have successfully imported the users from your Zoom account into DPCalendar, then you will see them in the plugin edit form. These accounts are treated in DPCalendar as calendars which can then be selected in a menu item. The meetings will be displayed in a menu item or module. Visitors are able then to join the meeting.
When the Zoom plugin is activated and the author edits or creates an event, then there is a new Zoom tab available to connect the event with a Zoom meeting. You can then setup the meeting number, password, hashed password and a Zoom user. "Only tickets" defines if there is an active ticket needed to join the meeting, keep in mind that this setting is ignored for the author and super admins.
The Zoom calendar has an option to create a meeting. If this is set and an admin creates or edits an event, then the plugin is able to create automatically a meeting in Zoom and connect it to the event. To do that only a Zoom calendar must be selected in the event form and no meeting ID in the Zoom tab. So you can skip the step to manually create a Zoom meeting and assign it to the event.
Is an event is connected with a Zoom meeting then the event details page shows two new buttons to connect to the meeting. The input fields are used to identify the attendee. These buttons and input fields are visible till the event ends, afterwards it checks for recordings. Zoom can be launched then directly from within the browser or by opening the meeting in the app. That's where the hashed password comes into action, it is needed to launch and log in password protected meetings in the app. If the "Only tickets" setting is set to yes in the event, then only visitors with an active ticket can see the join form while the event author and super users can always see it.
The Zoom plugin is able to display the cloud recordings of the connected meeting in the event details page. If there are multiple recordings with the same meeting id, then it does a timespan comparison and displays only the recordings which happened on the same day as the events start date.
These settings are the same for every calendar configured in the plugin.
