Creating a Zoom API Account

In order to utilize the EthosCE Zoom course object, a Zoom JWT (JSON Web Tokens) API application must be configured within the Zoom account.  This option is available to all Zoom customers with a Pro, Business, or Enterprise plan.  EthosCE utilizes the JWT API application to interface directly with the associated Zoom account.
