Zoom API Connection

Zoom API Connection

Tutor Zoom automatically handles the Zoom API connection through our SaaS backend. Here's how it works:

How the Connection Works

Unlike traditional Zoom plugins that require you to create a Zoom App and manage OAuth credentials, Tutor Zoom handles this entirely through the SaaS platform:

1. Your WordPress plugin sends requests to the Tutor Zoom SaaS server.
2. The SaaS server communicates with the Zoom API on your behalf.
3. Meeting data (ID, join URL, host URL) is sent back to your WordPress site.

Connection Status

You can check your Zoom connection status within the session editor. Look for the Zoom Connection card that shows:

• Connected — Everything is working. Meeting ID and links are displayed.
• Not Synced — The session has not been synced with Zoom yet. Publish/update the session to trigger sync.
• Suspended/Expired — Your license needs attention.

Connectivity Requirements

Ensure your server can make outbound HTTPS requests to:

• tutorzoom.live — Our SaaS API
• Port 443 (HTTPS) must be open for outbound traffic

If you're behind a firewall or proxy, whitelist tutorzoom.live in your server's outbound rules.
