One issue though- I get an error message when I click on the Sessions link at the top of the information in a created meeting. It doesn't seem that I need it, I don't know what it is for, but I don't want my students clicking on that and thinking something is wrong. The error message reads, "An error occured with Zoom" and there is a Continue button that goes back to the Zoom Moodle activity info. Any ideas?
Thank you very much for this plugin, which could be very usefull for many Moodle teachers.
However, I haven't used Zoom yet in all its range, as some limitations exist for free accounts. And so, today I have just tried the application with a 60 days trial access that leaves me the rigth to get API keys.
The way you programmed your plugin to use Zoom via Moodle seems to provoque some limitations to, as having one user's keys is mandatory to join Zoom system ! But you use those keys in the context of Moodle system, not in the context of one single activity, which the Moodle user would be the owner (as an activity administrator).
Indeed, if the parameters of the plugin use the API keys of one user1 in Moodle system, only this user1 will be able to join Zoom system, as Zoom checks the user email correspondance whith API keys registration. When one user2 (for instance one teacher2 in Moodle) wants to create a Zoom conference activity within his own course, he is not allowed to do so, and gets the message "An error occured with Zoom".
May I ask you to manage this issue, so any teacher would be able to create and manage zoom activity (if this teacher takes the time to create his own private free Zoom account ) ? I would suggest this idea : may be is it possible to configure API keys of the Zoom user in the course context when creating the Zoom conference activity, instead of configure them in the system context ?
So any Zoom user who has API keys matching his own mail adress (mail of the Moodle account) would be able to create and open his own instance of Zoom conference.
@Morrell You need to have a package that has API access. We need API access to allow users to create, edit, and delete Zoom meetings through Moodle.
