Zoom meeting

Hi. Recently the plugin stopped working in our instance of moodle (2.8)
In chrome we get a 500 error and in firefox we get a blank page. Turning on errors gave us the following message: Fatal error: Call to undefined method mod_zoom_mod_form::standard_intro_elements() in /moodle-fs/lms/public_html/mod/zoom/mod_form.php on line 66.
Any suggestions?

Eve, an instructor/admin that creates the Zoom meeting is the owner of the meeting. Everyone else joins as a participant.
For the group mode, there should still just be a single meeting link for everyone in the course. To have separate meeting rooms you would need to create separate Zoom meeting instances.

Hi Rex, I am talking about both. Essentially I am interested in how the plugin relates to Moodle roles and then as a corollary how this would then relate to group mode which are both separate and visible.

Hi Rex, we love your plugin here, thank you. We're running into a problem with the zoom plug in that I think must be time zone related. When someone creates a zoom meeting from within moodle (and chooses the correct time they want the meeting to start), it seems to save the zoom meeting as that time + 5 hours. If we then edit the zoom meeting from moodle and change the time back, it saves correctly. Our Moodle time zone is set correctly. Creating a zoom meeting directly in zoom works as expected, too. Any thoughts about what I could check to try to fix this?

Eve, are you talking about if the plugin supports separate or visible group mode?

Hi Rex,
I am currently investigating weather the Zoom plugin is compatible with Moodle (version 3.0) groups. Are you able to giving me any intel on this enquiry?
Thanking you.

Nicholas, I have put the bug into our tracking system and will have our students work on a patch something in Jan.

Hi Rex,
I am getting an "unknown error" when trying to delete certain instances of the Zoom meeting activity. The best I can figure out, this is happening when we try to delete a meeting that was created by an instructor who is no longer on our Zoom account, or for instructors who changed their email addresses and so are using a new Zoom account. So, my guess would be that the plugin is trying to delete the meeting from our Zoom account first, and when it can't find the meeting the whole deletion fails. Any thoughts on a patch that would still delete the instance in Moodle, even if the meeting can't be found in Zoom?

As of now, our university does not have any need to support Zoom Cloud recording. We will not be integrating with Cloud recording anytime soon.

Mark, I don't believe we list any recordings in the meeting listing.

Thanks for the reply Rex. I think I'd rather look at creating a new plugin that acts more like a repository because we'd like each of our sessions to appear in the section it is associated, rather than a list. For the time being, I will remove the link to the session recordings, any quick way to disable w/o breaking view.php? thanks.

Mark, when we initially developed the plugin we didn't have cloud recording. But I checked and we do now. I can put that on our roadmap, but don't have a timeframe of when we will have it implemented. The API we will be using is https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/206324325-REST-Cloud-Recording-API. If you have someone that can help contribute development resources, let us know.

Hi Rex, thanks for this plugin. I've gotten it to work, however, the recordings do not appear in the list after the session is over. I have verified they exist on the Zoom server, but apparently their presence isn't retrieved. Any idea where I might look to resolve? thanks.

Nancy:
1) Can I use your plug in with a Pro acct or do I need to have a Business or Enterprise acct?
You will need an account that allows API access. I am unsure if that is covered in the regular Pro acct. Contact Zoom sales department.
2) Will it seat up to 50, or only 25?
The seating is up to your Zoom account.
3) Do students still need to download the Zoom plug in for their computer?
4) Does the Zoom screen show in the Moodle- ie do they join meeting in Moodle, or do they leave to external Zoom app?
Yes, students still use the Zoom plugin for their computer. The thing that this Moodle plugin does is that it creates the meetings on Zoom's side. You can still use Zoom and have the instructors/Moodle users create meetings directly on Zoom and link to them in Moodle.

I have a Zoom Pro account, which seats up to 50 students.
1) Can I use your plug in with a Pro acct or do I need to have a Business or Enterprise acct? My school is small, no need for 10 seats of a Business Acct. 2) Will it seat up to 50, or only 25? 3) Do students still need to download the Zoom plug in for their computer? 4) Does the Zoom screen show in the Moodle- ie do they join meeting in Moodle, or do they leave to external Zoom app?
Thank you!
