Connect Zoom for automatic meeting links

Connect Zoom so your booking links and the “Create a meeting” flow generate a real Zoom link automatically. This is useful if you do not use Microsoft Teams.

Zoom is bring-your-own-app: each workspace connects its own Zoom app once. You do this at Settings → Integrations → Zoom.

One-time setup

1. Sign in at marketplace.zoom.us.
2. Open marketplace.zoom.us/develop/create and choose General App, then Create.
3. On Basic Information, set the OAuth Redirect URL (and OAuth allow list) to https://www.jeanus.app/api/auth/zoom/callback.
4. On the Scopes tab add exactly meeting:write:meeting (create meetings) and user:read:user(identify your account) — NOT meeting:write:registrant, which is a different thing.
5. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret.
6. Paste them into Settings → Integrations → Zoom, Save, then click Connect Zoom and approve.

You do not need to publish the app or submit it for Zoom review — it works for your own account in development mode.

The people you invite need no Zoom account — they join in their browser.

Common gotcha

If you connected before setting the correct scope, meeting creation fails and bookings show “link to follow”. Fix the scope in your Zoom app, then Disconnect and reconnect in Jeanus so a new permission is granted. The Zoom settings page warns you if the meeting scope is missing.

On the roadmap

A one-click published Jeanus Zoom app, with no per-workspace setup, is on the roadmap.
