    Hi Vibe team, I've been read and learn a lot about your zoom integration, and just like the others, I have wrong perception about it. For now, your zoom integration force us to add zoom instructor's account (or any account so instructor can use it at the same time with other instructor's course) to our main account in zoom. That's need some of manual configuration for us as website's owner. I know it's a must because you have API integration from zoom to WPLMS, so instructor can create meetings right from their dashboard, that's awesome btw ! But for some of us, the zoom pricing to have some users in our account is too high for now, that's the exact problem, and I know it's none of your business. So, what I need (I think the solution for some of us too) is: 1. The instructors manually create and configure zoom meeting for their course right from their zoom platform/website. 2. Instructor manually copy paste all the information from their meeting to their dashboard in WPLMS. Instrcutor can input manually: meeting's title, meeting's link, meeting ID, passcode meetings, and about its recurring meeting or not (if it's recurring meeting). So when instructor click "start meeting", it will be redirected to zoom apps/web, and instructor can login their own credential and their own licensed (or not) account. So the limitations is depends on instructor's owned zoom account. 3. For the student's side, they can join zoom meeting from meeting's link, then redirects to zoom apps/web (as usual). And if its recurring meeting, WPLMS can show the next date automatically. If its not possible for now, I hope you consider this suggestion for the next update...

    The process follows these steps:: 1- Admin adds the zoom credential in wp-admin. 2- Instructors can create a meeting without using their zoom credentials. 3- Instructor/student click on the start/join button which usages start URL to open the meeting, Instructor have to log in (own account) in zoom to start/join meeting also. 4- Recurring meeting is not available in vibe-zoom. If you have any other doubts then let us know.

    Thanks for the response. I've clearly notice about your zoom integration, that's not what I want to know. Here's what I mean: 1st Case: When Instructor schedules meeting at the same time, and choose the same host because they don't know that they're scheduling meeting at the same time with another instructor. How's the solution? How instructors know that this host has another meeting in progress. Since the instructor using our (website's owner) zoom account, they can end another meeting by the same host. If I using this solution, so I need to show the instructor available time when using my (website's owner) zoom account. 2nd Case: In case I suggest the instructor to create their own API by their own zoom account, and they give me their API Key & Secret, then I add multiple zoom credential. So, instructor can use their own account when they create unit by zoom meeting, but they still have to "choose" which account they want to use. Why they have to choose? Why it's not integrated automatically with their zoom account, so we can assign their zoom account in "VibeBP>>Setting>>Zoom" only can be use by them (zoom's account owner). If I use this solution, the "host option" may not shown to instructor, so they can only use their assigned zoom account That's why I give you those suggestions on my reply above. I hope you're clearly understand what I mean. Or do you have any suggestion?

    I also have tried to create instructor's account, then create course and zoom meeting, when I started meeting, it automtically login with admin's account,there is no authentication like what you have said that "instructor must login to their own axcount", it just automatically login with admin's account. Note: I have logged out (at zoom account) first before I tried this.

    There are two URLs(start/join) for specific user-specific URL(start/join) URL opens in the new tab thus the logged-in zoom user will open the meeting from the start/join URL. So there will be no issue when the instructor creates a meeting using an admin credential. The concept is to open the URL(can join/start) thus other things done by zoom-client.

    Instructors do not need to share, the meeting that will be created from the admin zoom credential. So the instructor only has to start the meeting, it does not require which credential you are using to start the meeting in the zoom app just needed to login in zoom app.

    Ooh c'mon man, you know I've clearly understand about that. Okay, I repeat again: 1st Case: When Instructor schedules meeting at the same time, and choose the same host because they don’t know that they’re scheduling meeting at the same time with another instructor. How’s the solution? How instructors know that this host has another meeting in progress. Since the instructor using our (website’s owner) zoom account, they can end another meeting by the same host. If I using this solution, so I need to show the instructor available time when using my (website’s owner) zoom account. 2nd Case: In case I suggest the instructor to create their own API by their own zoom account, and they give me their API Key & Secret, then I add multiple zoom credential. So, instructor can use their own account when they create unit by zoom meeting, but they still have to “choose” which account they want to use. Why they have to choose? Why it’s not integrated automatically with their zoom account, so we can assign their zoom account in “VibeBP>>Setting>>Zoom” only can be use by them (zoom’s account owner). If I use this solution, the “host option” may not shown to instructor, so they can only use their assigned zoom account

    I have already explained there will be no issue when you create a meeting using the admin zoom credential. Now for 1st case: Instructor 1 does not have to know if any other meeting is running at the same time from instructor-2. So N instructor can create a meeting at the same time. Showing the available time is not available 2nd case: If Instructor 1 wants to create a meeting with their zoom credential then they have to share the credential with the admin to add. thus at the time of creation Instructor 1 choose their host for meeting creation. This process does not auto choose the host. Let me know if we can close this thread. If you have any other issues please create a topic and let us know.
