Our new Zoom OAuth (Open Authentication) solution is recommended for training centers where Zoom has been implemented institution-wide and licensed user accounts already belong to university staff, faculty, and students.

1. Log into your Zoom owner account.
2. Stay on your Profile, and in the side menu on the left, click on Advanced to display further options.
3. Click on App Marketplace.

   1. Name the new OAuth application you are creating.

      Info
      In the example, we are simply naming the new application after CAE LearningSpace, but you can give any name to the app you prefer. The name of the app does not affect the API configuration in any way.

      
      

   2. Select the User-managed app option.
      Users will be able to allow access for CAE LearningSpace to their Zoom user account individually. 
      
      

   3. Deselect the third switch to avoid publishing your application on the Zoom App Marketplace.
      

      Note
      Do not share your OAuth application with external users.
