Required Zoom Meeting/Webinar Configurations: PLEASE READ

Registration Required

Please make sure the "Registration is Required" option is enabled within Zoom when creating the meeting/webinar.  Registration MUST be enabled to ensure the accuracy of learner attendance. When learners launch the Zoom Meeting/Webinar link from the EthosCE course object, they are instantaneously registered for the Zoom Meeting/Webinar.  In order for EthosCE to accurately track each learner's attendance duration, they must be registered in the Zoom Meeting/Webinar accordingly.

Meeting ID: Generate Automatically

Please make sure 'Generate Automatically' is selected within the 'Meeting ID'  configuration options.  EthosCE requires a unique, single-use, Meeting/Webinar ID in order to accurately track learner attendance duration values from the Zoom Webinar/Meeting.  EthosCE does not support the use of Personal Meeting IDs at this time.



Security: Waiting Room

At this time EthosCE only supports the 'Waiting Room' Zoom Meeting/Webinar security protocol.  Since learners are instantaneously registered for the Zoom Meeting/Webinar when clicking the launch link in the EthosCE course object, an invite link nor passcode can be generated for learners at this time.



Paid Licensed Zoom Users

To utilize the EthosCE Zoom course object, all host accounts must be a paid licensed Zoom users.  While Zoom allows for 'basic' unpaid licenses to be added to any Zoom account, the Zoom API integration offering requires all host accounts holding a Zoom Meeting/Webinar to be a paid licensed users. If a host with a 'basic' account attempts to schedule a Zoom Meeting/Webinar in EthosCE, they will receive an error on the Zoom course object landing page.
