Zoom Hostkey

[Catherin Bergan]

Usingthe userId it used to work for us for months up until today.

Since today, this API no longer returns the host_key field.

Was that a planned change, or is it a bug in the Zoom API that will be resolved soon?

It breaks our current workflow.

Ok but, as an ISV, I am creating zoom users on behalf of my users, and I forward them their host key, so that they can identify as host when using their phone.

Right now I can no longer do that, and I had to switch to my fallback videoconference provider.

That is a good question, and we working on consolidating email system so that changes like this can be communicated. In the meantime, I would subscribe to the Changelog (Changelog) and the developer newsletter ( ).

Setting up a test ILT course with a test session and test event utilising zoom as the web conferencing tool works fine. The session starts, the button appears and I can join the zoom on my own account and have the relevant functionality as a host like recording etc.

The button appeared, but I could not join as a host, only an attendee. I was set as an instructor in the session as were two others. No one else was in the zoom, no one else had started it and I was kicked out after 10 minutes because the host did not attend.

Hi @Maz as far as I know, those identified as Instructors should be made hosts/organizers in those meeting platforms. You should probably test it again and if you can re-create the issue, I would recommend opening a ticket with Docebo.

Note: although it states that the Session instructor is also the event instructor, perhaps try a test where these are different and try logging in as the Event instructor instead of the Session instructor to see if that helps.

@Maz when I first started playing with the integration the link was already there. And what happened was everyone who joined would join as the host, or more precisely the admin account that the Zoom integration was created under.

I had to rebuild the integration pairing in order to get a different result. Now the learners log in with their own Zoom accounts but the instructor still logs in under the admin account used to create the OAuth app link. And this is supposedly by design...still fighting that battle :)

Yep, getting the recording of the session back into the LMS is good, and you can make changes to the Zoom schedule via the LMS (not it deletes the old booking and makes a new one with changed details which triggers notifications which is not ideal) but the LMS does not control the Zoom session really.

I feel the help documentation needs to be clearer about how it works and the expectations as I was thinking I could set up VILT sessions for a range of Instructors identified for those VILT sessions, and leave it with them. It turns out that is not the case at all unless I give them the system admin account password and login for the Zoom account I use, I have to be involved.

Not only is it an extra cost to have to add those instructors to Zoom, but you have to add them as administrators and not just users. All of our instructors are setup with Zoom accounts but we do not want them to have admin access to Zoom.

I also feel the pain of being told it is not a Docebo issue, while Zoom says it is not a Zoom issue. It is absolutely a Docebo thing as they do pass on the correct information for learners to log in, but not as an instructor. And I have worked with several LMS platforms over the years and they all have Webex/Zoom integration that works as expected by we the customer.

My hypothesis is: if I can let participants join before the host (enabled), and then the participant has the host key from the Zoom account owner, basically, the participant can start the Zoom meeting by himself. This would free up so much time for our system admins.

Hi all, I found out that if I set the zoom password in the Docebo Learn course config for the Event in question where it asks for the Video Conference Tool and account, then the password, if that is set to the same password I used for my Zoom account in the Zoom account - Settings / Security and the Require a passcode for Personal Meeting ID (PMI), it works for instructors joining early and starting the session.

I had to rebuild the integration pairing in order to get a different result. Now the learners log in with their own Zoom accounts but the instructor still logs in under the admin account used to create the OAuth app link. And this is supposedly by design...still fighting that battle :)

@gcrawford88 I know this is a year but I was interested in your response.We are having the same issue where some who joined would join as the host/admin account. It seems to be power users who get joined as this. Is there something you did in the repairing process that fixed it? I am thinking of redoing the zoom integration because ours is a mess.

Premade polls can be used within a meeting in a Zoom Room. Polls cannot be deployed if a new meeting has been created and started from the desktop, and they cannot be created from the desktop. Polls can only be deployed if the meeting and poll(s) were created ahead of time. See Zoom's guide on creating polls for more information on creating premade polls.

Some standard Zoom features are not accessible from the podium monitor in a Zoom Room. To use these features, instructors can download the Zoom client to their laptop and bring it into the Zoom Room. The Zoom client can be downloaded from depaul.zoom.us.

Chat is available in Zoom+ and Trimodal Rooms on the podium monitor. However, if chat is necessary for the class meeting, it is recommended to use a laptop with the Zoom client for ease of viewing notifications and for the ability for the host to respond to participants. See the Zoom page on Using in-meeting Chat for more information.

Sebagian besar pelaksanaan diklat di era pandemi menggunakan metode e-learning. Metode ini menekankan pentingnya sebuah aplikasi, baik untuk mendukung pelaksanaan diklat yang sifatnya asinkronus maupun sinkronus. Pelaksanaan diklat dengan metode yang sifatnya sinkronus, pada umumnya masih memerlukan aplikasi tambahan seperti Zoom, Google Classroom, atau Microsoft Teams. Namun, memang cukup diakui aplikasi yang paling banyak digunakan saat ini adalah Zoom.

Permasalahan penggunaan aplikasi-aplikasi tersebut biasanya memerlukan seorang operator, atau kadang diistilahkan sebagai host. Seseorang yang berperan sebagai host, memiliki peran untuk mengontrol atau mengoperasikan jalannya kegiatan diklat sinkronus tersebut.

Seiring dengan berjalannya waktu, dan semakin banyaknya pertemuan, workshop, bimtek, seminar, maupun pelatihan. Maka, semakin terasa kebutuhan orang-orang yang berperan sebagai host. Tetapi kemudian, kita pun menghadapi permasalahan yaitu kurangnya sumber daya manusia untuk dijadikan host. Bukan kekurangan kemampuan, tetapi lebih kepada kekurangan dari sisi kuantitasnya.

Beruntung salah satu aplikasi telekonferensi memiliki solusi ini. Aplikasi tersebut adalah Zoom, yang saat ini juga dilanggan oleh Pusdiklat Perpusnas RI dalam pelaksanaan diklatnya. Fitur tersebut adalah fitur claim host, sehingga pengajar atau pemateri bisa masuk ke dalam Zoom dan menjalankan fungsi sebagai host sekaligus.

Setelah Zoom meeting berhasil dibuat, maka langkah selanjutnya adalah menginformasikan host key kepada pembicara atau pengajar. Host key ini bisa didapatkan pada halaman profile, setelah masuk ke akun Zoom melalui zoom.us.

Demikian tutorial untuk memanfaatkan fitur claim host pada aplikasi Zoom Meeting. Fitur ini sangat bermanfaat sekali, karena untuk mengatasi ketiadaan host. Dan penggunaannya pun cukup mudah. Pusdiklat Perpusnas RI sendiri beberapa kali sudah memanfaatkan fitur ini, dan memang sangat bermanfaat ditengah keterbatasan jumlah sumber daya manusia yang dimiliki.

You can use keyboard to zoom in and out by using numpad + and numpad -. If you don't have a numpad on your keyboard, you can set Blender to emulate the numpad under User Preferences > Input > Emulate Numpad.

If you are using Blender on a tablet (or on a computer with a touchscreen), you can zoom in and out by using two fingers on the screen and moving them closer or farther away from each other, just like with other mobile applications.

That being said, you can purchase a three button mouse separately, and use that to manipulate the viewport. If you are going to be using Blender heavily on a device with no third-mouse-button, this can make an enormous difference. For tablets specifically, you can get a wireless mouse with Bluetooth connectivity.

Setup your the graphics tablet to click when the tip is pressed. Then the other two buttons can be set to right and middle click. Now just use the default CTRL+middle-mouse key-binding (can be customised user preferences).

I use a graphic tablet. F13 is mapped to the undo key of my tablet and right-click on a pen button for zoom. The later binding is very time saving in my workflow.I added these bindings in the General drop-down.

Duke users with an affiliation of faculty, staff, and student are eligible to have a Duke Zoom account. Users with an affiliation of affiliate must have a sponsor contact the Service Desk and provide a business case as to why the affiliate must host Duke Zoom meetings (otherwise, users can go to zoom.us and create a free Zoom account with a Duke email address to participate in meetings). NOTE: all other affiliations including pre-hire Duke employees require assistance from the Service Desk in order to have a Duke Zoom account for hosting meetings.

If you would like your class automatically recorded without having to open Zoom on a computer, open the Zoom integration in Canvas. Click on one of the call titles, and then select edit this meeting. There is an option at the bottom of the page to record the meeting automatically. Select save to the cloud next to it. If you would like assistance, please email scheduling or coope...@usu.edu.
