Zoom

The Zoom integration opens your Zoom meeting inside the lesson. The student clicks Join the room and takes part through the browser. They don't need a Zoom account. In Settings → Zoom you connect your Zoom account and choose what Cademí tells Zoom about whoever joins.

Attention: this integration only exists in accounts where Cademí has enabled it. If Zoom does not appear in the Integrations group of Settings, contact Cademí support.

How it works

The meeting is still yours. You create and start the meeting in your Zoom account, as usual. The integration lets the student join it from inside a lesson in the Live - Zoom format. The student joins with the name in their record.

For that, Cademí needs an app created in your Zoom account. You copy two codes from that app, the Client ID and the Client Secret, and paste them into Cademí.

The most important rule: the meeting must belong to the same Zoom account where you created the app. A meeting from another account does not open through the lesson.

The screen

At the top, the Create the app in your Zoom account strip has the Open Zoom Marketplace button. Below, there are two panels.

Integration:

• The Enable Zoom integration switch.
• With it on, the Client ID and Client Secret fields.
• With the integration off, a lesson in the Zoom format shows the room as unavailable.

Student identification:

• In Data sent to Zoom, choose Name only (the default) or Name and email.
• The name always goes, and the student cannot change the name.
• For a webinar, Zoom requires the email. So the email goes even with Name only.

The Client Secret is stored encrypted and does not appear again. When you edit the screen later, the field shows Saved. Type to replace it. Leave the field blank to keep what is already saved. Type only to change it.

Step by step

In your Zoom account

1. Click Open Zoom Marketplace.
2. Sign in with the Zoom account where you create meetings.
3. Create an app of the General App type.
4. Under Features → Embed, turn on the Meeting SDK.
5. Under Basic Information, copy the Client ID and the Client Secret.

In Cademí

1. Open Settings → Zoom.
2. Turn on Enable Zoom integration.
3. Paste the Client ID.
4. Paste the Client Secret. Both are required to enable it.
5. In Data sent to Zoom, choose Name only or Name and email.
6. Click Save now.

In the lesson

1. In the lesson, choose the Live - Zoom format (Modules and lessons).
2. Paste the meeting invitation link: the link Zoom generates with the meeting number and the passcode.
3. At the scheduled time, start the meeting in your Zoom account.

The student joins through the lesson. Your personal room link (the one ending in /my/your-name) does not work.

What the student sees

In the lesson, the student sees a card with the Join the room button. The card warns that the browser will ask for microphone and camera access.

• On a computer, the meeting opens inside the lesson.
• On a phone, the meeting opens full screen. On leaving, the student goes back to the lesson (Back to the lesson).
• Whoever leaves can use Join again while the meeting is running.

The student joins as a participant, with the name in their record. The screen warns when they cannot join:

• If the meeting hasn't started yet, the notice asks them to try again in a few minutes.
• If the meeting is full, has ended or requires registration, the notice says so.
