Set Up OAuth 2.0 (Open Authorization) for Existing Zoom Accounts

Zoom Update Notes

End-to-End Encryption Preview

Zoom's technical preview introducing end-to-end (E2E) encryption (released on October 25, 2020) currently does not support cloud recording, among other regularly used in-meeting features such as private (1-on-1) chat messaging, meeting reactions, breakout rooms, live streaming, and live transcription (applicable for meetings in English).

If you apply end-to-end encryption for your LearningSpace virtual encounters, SPs and learners can still host and join meetings and use the limited in-room meeting features. Still, the virtual encounters will not be recorded nor saved in the Video Review module as usual.

Default Waiting Room Feature

In their May 2020 update, Zoom has enabled the Waiting Room feature by default. If you do not want SPs to admit each learner to the current virtual encounter, check out how to disable waiting rooms in Zoom here.

OAuth 2.0 Setup

We recommend our Zoom OAuth (Open Authorization) solution for our customers who already have Zoom implemented institution-wide and licensed user accounts that already belong to university staff, faculty, and students.

With our OAuth solution, you can authorize LearningSpace to use personal Zoom accounts with only a specific range of permissions. This ensures the privacy of your Zoom users when setting up virtual rooms since LearningSpace will only have access to selected personal Zoom accounts following authorization.
