Zoom Server-to-Server OAuth App Support
Zoom Server-to-Server OAuth app enables you to securely integrate with Zoom APIs and get your account access token without user interaction. In this tutorial, we will guide you through through the setup and configuration of our latest Zoom Integration on the BuddyBoss Platform Pro.
Let us now begin with the setup.
Configure Server-to-Server OAuth App
Activate BuddyBoss Pro
Don’t forget to Activate the BuddyBoss Platform Pro. Because Zoom integration is a BuddyBoss Platform Pro feature.
Check Zoom Integration Page from Your Backend
From your WordPress backend navigate to BuddyBoss – Integrations – Zoom. Now, you need to create a Server-to-Server OAuth app for Zoom Gutenberg Blocks and Meeting SDK app for Zoom In-Browser Meetings. Let’s go to the Zoom Marketplace to generate these credentials.

From your Zoom account, click Solutions then Marketplace.
Log into your Zoom account, then under the Develop dropdown menu, select Build App.
Here, go to Server-to-Server OAuth and click Create.
Give your App any name then click Create.
Now, let’s copy these credentials back to your BuddyBoss site under the Zoom Gutenberg Blocks section.
Click on Continue and navigate to the Information tab. With the app created, the first step is to fill in your Basic and Developer Contact Information. This information is mandatory before you can activate your app.
From the Features tab you need to copy your Secret Token.
Fill the Secret Token field in your WordPress backend and click Save Settings. Copy the Notification URL.
Next we need to enable Event Subscriptions and select +Add Event Subscription. Place the Subscription Name, paste the Notification URL into the Event notification endpoint URL
and hit the Validate button.
Here, you can see this is Validate.
After that, you need to add Events for the app to subscribe to. Click +Add Events and now add the follower permissions under each section

With all the previous steps completed, your app should now be ready for activation. Click Activate your app. we can now activate your app.
You should see a message that says Your app is activated on the account. At this point we are now ready to head to the final task of the setup.
Once you get to the App Credentials page, copy the Account ID, Client ID and Client Secret and paste them into the fields in the form below.
Once you’ve filled in the top three fields, select your Account Email address on the dropdown menu.
Then let’s click Save Settings at the bottom.
It should now say Connected under the Zoom Gutenberg Block section that means the connection is successful.
You should now be able to create zoom meetings and display them using Gutenberg block.
Setup Zoom Meeting SDK
Next thing that we need to set up is a Meeting SDK app so we can require members to attend your Zoom meetings and webinars directly on your site.
Go back to your Zoom App Marketplace account. On the Develop dropdown again, click Build. On this page, click Create under Meeting SDK.
Enter a name and don’t forget to disable the checkbox then click Create again.
On the app page, click on the App Credentials tab to get your needed credentials to set up your Zoom-In Browser Meeting.
Let’s paste these credentials back to your BuddyBoss site under the Zoom In-Browser Meetings
Section. Then click on Save Settings.
If the credentials are valid, it should say Connected with a green indicator on top.
With both of these sections completed, you should now be able to create and host Zoom calls from within your BuddyBoss site. If you are using the BuddyBoss Platform Pro then make sure you are updated.
