Zoom.us is a globally used software-based and cloud-based service for virtual conference rooms.
eFront features Zoom integration for all of the portal's virtual and live training sessions. You can use the Zoom video conferencing service to meet with others virtually and to record sessions within your eFront ILT courses and events.
| Note 1: Session recordings are only available in Pro Zoom accounts. |
| Note 2: You will need to have a Zoom account to proceed with the rest of the steps. If you don't own an account already you can sign up here. |
Zoom.us will stop supporting legacy integration if you have already added locations with Zoom using the old integration (JWT). In this case, you will need to upgrade the location by following the steps in this guide. You can find the old JWT integration steps here.
