Zoom meeting

Hi Rex, how does your plugin tell Zoom whom to register as the meeting host? Is there a way to specify that when creating a meeting? Thanks.

Hi Rex, I looked at https://github.com/ucla/moodle-mod_zoom/blob/master/loadmeeting.php#L66 as you suggested but am unsure what I need to do there to apply a custom URL scheme like mycustomapp:// instead of https:// to launch meetings in mycustomapp that I'm building with the Zoom SDK rather than in the standard Zoom app. Could you advise? Thanks.

Hi Rex, We are using This Zoom Moodle plugin at the moment. We faced one issue with ongoing meetings (recurring meetings). Start meeting button does not work after sometime for the ongoing meetings. It asked user to login again to Zoom as when they click the join meeting button. Start meeting button has token to avoid login to Zoom. Seems like this token gets expired for these ongoing meetings as well. We are using ongoing meetings all the time (Meetings with no end date). What do we need to do to avoid this issue?

I installed zoom plugin and using it .but when i use moodle mobile app it can 't to connect zoom directly and need open by browser. What must i do ?

Hi Rex
Moodlerooms have reviewed code for thrid party vendors previously, there is a fee for code review. I am sure if you contact Blackboard they could guide you if you ask to have your plugin on the plugin matrix as a community plugin. The process can cost $thousands though.
I dont think that you need to be a 'customer' to do this

Angus, we did not know how the plugin got into Moodlerooms for review. Is it something that you can do as a customer to ask for a re-review? We are not a Moodlerooms school.

Hi Rex et al.
Can you tell me if this plugin has been resubmitted to Moodlerooms for review after the V1.6 version went live. I am interested in this plugin, Moodlerooms has informed me that the plug failed code review for CSUN. Unless the code changes are re-reviewed there is no way that this plugin can be used by hosted Moodle customers.

Just wanted to send a message out to those who were turned off by the price of the Education plan...
Within the past few months, Zoom has made a lot of changes to their pricing and made some features more accessible. The API needed for this plugin is now available to single user Pro accounts, for $14.99/mo per user. Even free accounts can get a temporary API key for testing here: https://zoom.us/developer/api/playground
When our institution first started using Zoom, we had to go through quite a few hoops to get the Education plan approved to start using it, but now everyone loves it. Hopefully this will make it easier for smaller institutions to use Zoom meetings or for individual teachers to justify using the plugin to their institution!
Thanks to Rex for all the work you do maintaining this plugin!

Thanks for the quick reply, Rex. Would you be willing to work with a Zoom engineer to get custcreate to work in your plugin? I have good relationships with them, and I think they would be willing to help. Would you like me to put you in touch?

Albert, we tried using the custcreate, but wasn't able to make it work. So that is why for our plugin we redirect users to login to Zoom directly to create their account before using the plugin.

Thanks Rex. Do you (or anyone else reading this) have any experience implementing Zoom's "custcreate" feature described at https://zoom.us/developer/overview/rest-user-api and https://zoom.us/developer/sample/simple-php? I'm trying to have Zoom automatically create an account for my Moodle users when they click into a Zoom conference created with your plugin, so that their attendance is registered in my Zoom reports. Custcreate seems to do exactly what I want -- create a Zoom account for a student without that student knowing any of the login details -- but I just can't get my head around how to implement it in Moodle. Any tips would be appreciated.

@albert The place to change the launch URL would be: https://github.com/ucla/moodle-mod_zoom/blob/master/loadmeeting.php#L66

Hi Rex et al, thanks for this great plugin! I'm building a custom Zoom-based app based on Zoom's SDKs at https://zoom.us/developer. I'd like for a meeting launched through this Moodle plugin to launch in my custom Zoom-based app instead of the Zoom app itself. I think to accomplish that I simply need to use a custom URL scheme like mycustomapp:// instead of https:// to launch the meeting. Can you tell me how to change the URL scheme in the plugin files? Thanks.

Hello Rex,
Thank you for all of your work on this plugin! Are you planning an update to support Zoom's new scheduling abilities? They now support granular recurrent settings for meetings (eg, repeat every M, W, F until X date)
Cheers!

Matthew, it looks like we are using a new form element that was introduced in Moodle 2.9: https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-49101
Sorry, I will update our plugin compatibility to remove 2.8 and earlier. Please revert to an older version of the plugin.
