Documentation

Before You Start

• WordPress 6.0+

• PHP 8.1+

• LearnDash installed and active

• A paid Zoom plan (Pro or higher) is required for attendance tracking — Zoom’s participant reports are not available on Basic accounts.

• Your site’s domain (for license registration and OAuth redirect)

Install & Activate the Plugin

1. Go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin

2. Upload the .zip file from purchase

3. Click Install Now → then Activate

4. A new menu item LiveClass Sync appears

Activate Your License

1. Go to LiveClass Sync → Settings → Activation Key

2. Enter your license key

3. Click Activate License → wait for confirmation

4. License must be active before Zoom features work

What Zoom Account You Need

• You need a Zoom account under a paid plan (not just “Basic/Free”) if you want to host meetings longer than the free-plan limit or use features beyond the free tier. 

• Importantly: the Zoom user authorizing the app must have admin-level privileges (or the account owner) in order to install an account-level or server-to-server OAuth app with broad scopes.

• For “Account-level” or “Server-to-Server OAuth” apps, only account admins (or users with marketplace/developer permissions) can authorize the app across the account.

Create Your Zoom OAuth App

1. Log in to Zoom Marketplace as account owner/admin

2. Go to Develop → Build App

3. Choose OAuth

4. Name the app and click Create

Configure URLs

• Redirect URL (for OAuth): paste the URL from plugin settings

• Webhook endpoint (for Event Subscriptions): paste the plugin’s webhook URL

• Copy the Secret Token — needed in the plugin

Add OAuth Scopes / Permissions

• meeting:write:meeting:admin

• meeting:read:meeting:admin

• meeting:update:meeting:admin or meeting:delete:meeting:admin

• user:read:user:admin

• report:read:list_meeting_participants:admin

If the scopes don’t appear, integration may not support automatic meeting creation or management.

Changing scopes later? Adding scopes to the app does not affect an existing connection. A token keeps whatever was granted when it was authorised, and refreshing preserves it. After changing scopes you must go to LiveClass Sync → Settings → Disconnect Zoom Account, then Connect Zoom again.

Enable Event Subscriptions (for Webhooks)

• Turn on Event Subscriptions

• Add the webhook URL from plugin settings

• Subscribe to at least: meeting.started, meeting.ended (for attendance tracking)

Enter Zoom Credentials in WordPress

1. Go to LiveClass Sync → Settings

2. Paste Client ID, Client Secret, and Secret Token

3. Save

Connect Zoom Account

1. Click Connect Zoom

2. Approve permissions when prompted

3. Return to WordPress — you should see confirmation (unless scopes are missing)

Meeting SDK Setup — for Browser Join

• Build a Meeting-SDK App in Zoom Marketplace

• Use the same Redirect URL

• Copy SDK Client ID & Secret → paste into plugin settings → Save

Create Zoom Meeting

• Edit or add a Topic → scroll to LiveClass Sync Meeting

• Toggle “Enable Zoom Meeting” → fill in meeting name, date, time, duration, optional password → Save/Update

• The plugin will automatically create the Zoom meeting and embed the join link

Update / Delete Meetings

• Editing the Topic → Update → meeting changes updated on Zoom automatically

• Deleting the Topic → meeting deleted on Zoom

View All Meetings

• Go to LiveClass Sync in the admin menu → you will see lists of upcoming and past meetings with IDs, times, and durations

Manage All Meetings

• List view in the plugin shows meeting name, ID, date/time, status, etc.

Disconnect Zoom (if needed)

• Go to LiveClass Sync → Settings → Disconnect Zoom Account — removes stored tokens

Troubleshooting Common Issues

• License not activated → recheck key/domain

• OAuth redirect URL mismatch or missing scopes → verify OAuth settings in Zoom

• Zoom API errors mentioning missing scopes → confirm all six scopes are added to the app, then Disconnect and Connect again (existing tokens do not gain new scopes).

• Webhook not working — check webhook URL and Secret Token

• SDK join issues — verify SDK credentials and redirect URL
