[Drafted by Rebel]
The current Zoom catalog connector currently requires Server-to-Server OAuth credentials, which means a normal user can’t connect Zoom on their own.
To create those credentials you need:
- A paid Zoom plan (Pro or above — Basic accounts can’t create Server-to-Server OAuth apps)
- Account admin access in Zoom
- Marketplace developer permissions (Develop → Build App enabled)
In practice this means connecting Zoom is blocked on IT/admin involvement, which defeats the point of a self-serve connector. I hit this myself today — got stuck at “Develop → Build App” because the option wasn’t clickable, and the fix is to chase down whoever owns the company Zoom account.
Suggested improvements (any of these would help):
- Support a standard user OAuth flow (Zoom’s regular OAuth app type) so individual users can connect their own Zoom account without creating a developer app
- Ship a pre-built shared Zoom OAuth app that Rebel hosts, and users just click “Connect” and authorise — same pattern as Google/Slack/Notion connectors today
