Connecting Zoom with Listener : Install

Rucha Joshi

Last Update 2 years ago

To bring your Zoom meetings to Listener, connect your account with Zoom.


To record your meetings to the cloud you require a Licensed (Pro/Business/Enterprise) Zoom account to bring meetings to Listener.


If you wish to record the meetings locally and/or have a Zoom Basic (Free) account, you can manually upload meetings and create highlights later.

Setting up

You may need pre-approval from you organisation Zoom admin to connect to Listener. You can request pre-approval from Zoom marketplace

1. Connect to Zoom

Navigate to the user profile page on Listener and click on 'Connect to Zoom'. You will be redirected to the Zoom screen where you can authorise Listener to connect to your Zoom account.

Note: If you do not have pre-approval from Zoom admin, you will be prompted when providing authorisation. You can return to user settings page on Listener and Connect to Zoom, whenever you get approval.
