When I open the application market, it never opens for me. A white screen appears. I want to install Zoom with Moodle. Please solve the problem or guide me to solve it
Hi there,
Can you please reach out to us from here and also share your license key of your plugin purchase so we could assist further.
so now we can add webinars or just still meetings?
The webinar ID can be placed in the shortcode and it will render the webinar just like the meeting on the frontend. However, You will not have an option to create the webinar from backend like meetings. Please see point # 2 here, https://elearningevolve.com/products/zoom-wordpress-plugin/#limitations
We use several different Zoom Accounts, are we able to use this plug in to use multiple accounts? Does that require a separate API?
Multiple APIs are not supported in the plugin right now.
I have added the plugin, I got the API keys, I created a meeting it shows in my zoom account and the wordpress adim section but when i go on the webpage it says “The site is experiencing technical difficulties.” and shows nothing on it
Please try this on a fresh install or a different theme, it seems like the plugin is conflicting with some other plugin or theme on your site. Which PHP version is your host using?
