Integrate Zoom

 Zoom provides video-telephony and online chat services through a cloud-based peer-to-peer software platform and is used for teleconferencing, telecommuting, distance education, and social relations (see https://zoom.us/). You can protect access to Zoom by integrating Zoom  with Identity as a Service. Once integrated, users can use single sign-on to log in to their Zoom account through Identity as a Service.

Note: This integration was tested using Identity as a Service version 5.13 and Zoom  Release October 2020. Other versions of Zoom may require integration and configuration steps that differ from those documented in this procedure. For other versions of Zoom, this integration guide may be used as an initial approach for integrating Zoom. In the event of other issues, contact support@entrust.com for assistance.

To integrate Zoom with Identity as a Service, you must have a Business or Education account and an approved Vanity URL. See the following Zoom documentation for more information on how to obtain a Vanity URL:
