How to enable and use the Zoom meeting integration

Use Front’s Zoom meeting integration to connect to Front Calendar and easily schedule Zoom meetings, directly inside Front.

With Front’s Zoom meeting integration, you can:

• Use Zoom with scheduling links

• Add Zoom meetings to Front calendar events

• Create Zoom meetings from Front’s comment composer

A company admin will need to first enable the Zoom integration for the entire company.

Step 1

Click the gear icon, navigate to the Company settings tab, then select App store. Search for Zoom and click See details.

Step 2

Select Zoom from the list of integrations, then click Enable app. All users can now connect their Zoom accounts to Front.

Step 1

Open Front Calendar by selecting the calendar icon from the plugin sidebar. If you haven't already, sign into your calendar with your Google or Office 365 account.

Step 2

Create a new event. From the conference field, select Zoom Conference from the dropdown menu. You should be prompted to log in with your Zoom credentials.

Step 3

Follow the prompts in Zoom to connect your desired Zoom account to Front.

Step 4

Refresh Front. You can now create Zoom meetings in your calendar, in scheduling links, and in Front’s comment composer.

Once a Front admin has enabled the integration, users can generate Zoom links in Front’s scheduling links, calendar events, and comment composer. 

When setting up scheduling links, you can set the Video conferencing option to Zoom to automatically generate Zoom links for your meetings.

See this article to learn more about scheduling links.

When creating calendar events, you can add Zoom meetings to your events in the Video conferencing field. This will automatically add Zoom meeting information to the Location and Description fields of the event.

See this article to learn more about Front Calendar.

You can create a Zoom meeting link directly from the comment composer in your discussions or conversations in Front, and your teammates can join the meeting with you immediately from there.

See this article to learn more about creating Zoom meetings in comments.

Step 1

Step 2

Next to Front, click Remove.

In the pop-up, select your remove reason, then click Remove.

If you have an old and new Zoom account, you should make sure to remove Front for both the old and new Zoom accounts.

Step 4

Chances are that you haven't authenticated Zoom in Front Calendar yet. You must complete the Zoom meeting setup steps before Zoom will be usable in your scheduling links. You will not be able to authenticate your Zoom account directly from the scheduling links screen.

We leverage an OAuth connection to each user's Zoom profile. The scope of the permissions Front utilizes is limited to "view and manage current user's meetings" and "view current user's information". For more details on the OAuth scopes we leverage in Zoom head to their help page here.

Yes. Once the Zoom meeting integration is enabled by a company admin, each user will need to follow the Zoom meeting setup steps above.

No. Zoom does not support account sharing. Each teammate must connect their own Zoom account to Front. If teammate B logs in with teammate A's Zoom credentials, teammate A will be disconnected from the Zoom integration.

Yes. If your team uses Zoom's passcode for team meetings, we recommend that your Zoom admin enables and locks the account-level setting to "Require a password when scheduling new meetings". This can help ensure that the passcode is applied in your Zoom links.

This feature is available on all plans. For the latest Starter plan, you must have email set as your company's channel type to sync a Google or Office 365 calendar.
