Zoom WordPress Plugin
Create your Zoom meetings from the WordPress dashboard and conduct meetings directly on your WordPress page by simply using a shortcode. The Zoom WordPress plugin gives you the ability to conduct on-site Zoom meetings without the need for downloading the Zoom App.
Note: This Zoom WordPress plugin is an early fork of the “Video Conferencing with Zoom” plugin developed by Deepen Bajracharya. It can not be used simultaneously with that plugin.
Now let’s dig into the features that are bundled with this Zoom WordPress plugin
Zoom Meeting & Webinar Embed
This plugin allows your website users to join the meeting straight from your WordPress page. A Join via Zoom App button is also displayed above the meeting window in case, the user is not able to Join via Web on their specific device or browser. Check the limitations of the plugin for more info. You can embed the Zoom meeting window on any page/post with a simple Gutenberg block or from the classic WordPress editor. The plugin also allows you to display Zoom Webinars on your WP site. Here is a step-by-step guide to setup them.
Zoom Meeting Countdown
You can schedule your Zoom meetings from the WordPress dashboard via this plugin and users will see a countdown timer on the page where the shortcode is added before the meeting starts.
Zoom Web SDK Features across Web & Mobile browsers
You can use all the features offered by the Zoom Web SDK across the web and mobile browsers i.e
- Joining the conference via phone.
- Ability to computer share audio and video.
- Lock the meeting via the Zoom option and prevent other participants to join.
- Manage participants: mute, remove, invite participants.
- Live chat: private and group chat.
- Allow screen share for only the host or all participants.
- Full-screen distraction-free mode.

Watch Past Meeting Recordings
Once the meeting ends and the cloud recording is available for the meeting, the users will be able to watch the latest recording or choose from recordings for up to 1 month for the particular meeting. More on this here.
Zoom Meetings Listing
View the Zoom Meetings under each of your Zoom hosts. See the status of your meetings and start or end the meeting from the WordPress dashboard.
Make your Meetings Secure
The plugin will allow you to set a meeting password while creating the meeting from the WordPress dashboard. This option can be very useful if you want only specific users to join the meeting.
Restrict Meeting page to logged-in users
There is also an option to restrict the meeting page access to users who are logged into your WordPress site with the enforce login check.
Auto Join & Auto End Meeting Mode
The plugin can be configured to allow the logged-in WP user to join the Zoom meeting automatically on page load. This can make your user experience a breeze. There is also an option to end the meeting automatically after the meeting duration(that is set from the meeting create/edit page).
Multiple Zoom Hosts
You can add multiple Zoom users to your Zoom account from the plugin menu Zoom Meetings -> Add Zoom User. This will enable you to allow multiple hosts to conduct their own meetings simultaneously on your site. Read more about the multi-host configuration here.
Zoom Meeting/Webinar Reports
If you are on a Pro or higher level Zoom account you can access the Zoom Meeting/Webinar reports from the plugin under Zoom Meetings -> Reports. The reports include your past Zoom Meetings/Webinars for a specified period of time and a detailed participants’ report for each instance.
Sync Zoom Events on WordPress
The plugin is synced with the below Zoom events. It will listen to these events and sync the changes on your WP site even if these actions are performed outside of your WordPress site i.e via the Zoom web interface or Zoom App.
- Start & end event (used for Auto End meeting after the set meeting duration from the start & show meeting status)

This plugin has freed up my time! I can set a zoom meeting from the WP dashboard, with the recording uploaded to Vimeo and automatically available for review. I initially had some problems getting it to work, but Adeel wasted no time in sorting it out for me. Thank you for your help Adeel!
The plugin works great. Met all of our requirements and was super easy to install and configure. We see a lot of use for this great embedded Zoom plugin, worth every penny.
Super plugin, with many possibilities. I had a small problem using it, but was fixed incredibly quickly (< 1 h).
Highly recommended!
Best support ever. Average time of reply 30 minutes. Resolved issues on my end in less than 1 hour.
The plug-in is the best in terms of Wordpress and Zoom integration.
This plugin is exactly what we needed to integrate Zoom directly into our website so our members would enjoy a complete in-house experience without having to open the Zoom app or browser. It is well made and quite versatile.
This plugin has been a lifesaver and a huge piece in launching our virtual platform. I don't know who else is integrating Zoom like this but it is top notch. Service is incredible when things go wrong in updates and there is very dedicated staff. Can't express how much I love this plugin !
I tried all the Zoom plugins that were available on the Wordpress plugin store but none of them functioned to my client's liking and had all the necessary features like this plugin had! Recurring meetings work like a charm with the plugin extension and if I had any questions on changing the CSS button colors or anything, the developer got back to me with solutions in less than 24 hours. I can't recommend this plugin enough, well worth the yearly price and will be using this plugin across any of my future client's Zoom needs.
The countdown timer works perfectly as well and have had 0 issues so far and installation took less than 5-10 minutes. Thanks so much!
Installation was a breeze. Very intuitive UI, brain-friendly interface, well thought through, and truly functional. A great experience.
I have tested multiple solutions (free and paid) for integrating Zoom sessions into our websites and into our LearnDash platform and none of the others come close to the features and support provided by Adeel at eLearning. Frequent updates, prompt responses to issues and superb programming make these plugins the best Zoom integrations available.
This is a really useful plugin, very nicely conceptualised but most importantly the developer is friendly and responsive, rapidly adding useful new features when requested.
Thanks so much Adeel.
Hi, at this momenti creating a JWT app at https://marketplace.zoom.us/ is not possible: it says “api_credentials_not_found”.
Another question: is it possible to have Zoom meetings on one wordpress site but hosted by different zoom host account (i.e. different teachers from the same school)?
Its a problem from Zoom please report on the forum.
For the other question please subscribe to the mailing list as I will be addressing this request soon.

A plugin that will be very useful when used in education, especially since we cannot leave the house because of the virus
Thank you, I am glad to know that it’s helpful for you.
Adeel is beyond awesome! He is the most responsive developer of a free plugin I have ever seen and knows what he is doing. He has released more releases in one week of a plugin than most people do in years.
I can’t wait to keep working with him and I encourage everyone to support development of his plugin to make sure that his hard work and dedication and just pure skill are rewarded and compensated.
Thank you Adeel for everything you do for us!
Thankyou Priten
I have never seen such a testimonial yet :) Happy that I could help someone with my skills!
Just a quick note that I downloaded and tried Adeel Raza Zoom Integration plugin, and it works perfect.
I had some issues with its settings (mainly because of me), and Adeel was very helpful, and even updated the plugin on the go to fit my needs (RTL support and Hebrew translation, that I sent him).
I started offering this plugin to my clients, and they are very keen about it.
Great job here, Adeel
