Uppy 4.0 is here: TypeScript rewrite, Google Photos, React hooks, and much more.

Zoom

The @uppy/zoom plugin lets users import cloud video recordings from their Zoom account. Note that only licensed Zoom accounts can store their recordings in the cloud, so this functionality will only be available to users with a paid Zoom account.

tip

Try out the live example or take it for a spin in StackBlitz.

When should I use this?​

When you want to let users import cloud video recordings from their Zoom account.

A Companion instance is required for the Zoom plugin to work. Companion handles authentication with Zoom, downloads the files, and uploads them to the destination. This saves the user bandwidth, especially helpful if they are on a mobile connection.

You can self-host Companion or get a hosted version with any Transloadit plan.

npm install @uppy/zoom

Use​

Using Zoom requires setup in both Uppy and Companion.

Use in Uppy​

import Uppy from '@uppy/core';
import Dashboard from '@uppy/dashboard';
import Zoom from '@uppy/zoom';

import '@uppy/core/dist/style.min.css';
import '@uppy/dashboard/dist/style.min.css';

new Uppy()
	.use(Dashboard, { inline: true, target: '#dashboard' })
	.use(Zoom, { companionUrl: 'https://your-companion.com' });

Use with Transloadit​

import { COMPANION_URL, COMPANION_ALLOWED_HOSTS } from '@uppy/transloadit';
import Zoom from '@uppy/zoom';

uppy.use(Zoom, {
	companionUrl: COMPANION_URL,
	companionAllowedHosts: COMPANION_ALLOWED_HOSTS,
});

You may also hit rate limits, because the OAuth application is shared between everyone using Transloadit.

To solve that, you can use your own OAuth keys with Transloadit’s hosted Companion servers by using Transloadit Template Credentials. Create a Template Credential on the Transloadit site. Select “Companion OAuth” for the service, and enter the key and secret for the provider you want to use. Then you can pass the name of the new credentials to that provider:

import { COMPANION_URL, COMPANION_ALLOWED_HOSTS } from '@uppy/transloadit';
import Zoom from '@uppy/zoom';

uppy.use(Zoom, {
	companionUrl: COMPANION_URL,
	companionAllowedHosts: COMPANION_ALLOWED_HOSTS,
	companionKeysParams: {
		key: 'YOUR_TRANSLOADIT_API_KEY',
		credentialsName: 'my_companion_dropbox_creds',
	},
});

Use in Companion​

To sign up for API keys, go through the following steps:

  1. Sign up on Zoom Marketplace

  2. Go to https://marketplace.zoom.us. There will be a dropdown in the header called “Develop”. From that dropdown, select “Build app”.

  3. In the “Basic Information” tab, Zoom shows your new “Client ID” and “Client Secret” - copy them.

    With the standalone Companion server, specify environment variables:

    export COMPANION_ZOOM_KEY="Zoom API key"
    export COMPANION_ZOOM_SECRET="Zoom API secret"

    When using the Companion Node.js API, configure these options:

    companion.app({
    	providerOptions: {
    		zoom: {
    			key: 'Zoom API key',
    			secret: 'Zoom API secret',
    		},
    	},
    });

  4. In the “Basic Information” tab, set “OAuth Redirect URL” input field to:

    https://$YOUR_COMPANION_HOST_NAME/zoom/redirect

    If you are using Transloadit hosted Companion:

    https://api2.transloadit.com/companion/zoom/redirect

  5. In the “Scopes” tab, add “cloud_recording:read:list_user_recordings” and “user:read:user” scopes. If Zoom asks for further permissions when you interact with your Zoom integration - add those too.

API​

Options​

id​

A unique identifier for this plugin (string, default: 'Zoom').

title​

Title / name shown in the UI, such as Dashboard tabs (string, default: 'Zoom').

target​

DOM element, CSS selector, or plugin to place the drag and drop area into (string, Element, Function, or UIPlugin, default: Dashboard).

companionUrl​

URL to a Companion instance (string, default: null).

companionHeaders​

Custom headers that should be sent along to Companion on every request (Object, default: {}).

companionAllowedHosts​

The valid and authorised URL(s) from which OAuth responses should be accepted (string or RegExp or Array, default: companionUrl).

This value can be a string, a RegExp pattern, or an Array of both. This is useful when you have your Companion running on several hosts. Otherwise, the default value should do fine.

companionCookiesRule​

This option correlates to the RequestCredentials value (string, default: 'same-origin').

This tells the plugin whether to send cookies to Companion.

locale​

export default {
	strings: {
		pluginNameZoom: 'Zoom',
	},
};
