Add Zoom import project in Mediasite

You will use Management Portal to create media import projects that automatically import Zoom meetings for publishing as on-demand presentations. These meetings are placed in Mediasite folders, using the information obtained from the template, and can be played back in Mediasite Player and included in video collections.

To add Zoom media import projects in Mediasite:

1.  Click Settings > Media Import > Add New and specify the following settings:

 Once you choose Zoom Import as the project type, you will see the Redirect URL for OAuth, which you will use when creating the OAuthApp in Zoom (described above). This URL is required when configuring the OAuth app. The Redirect URL for OAuth, has the following format: https://<Mediasite Root URL>/Integrations/OAuth.  Example: https://myserver.mynetwork.net/Mediasite/Integrations/OAuth

2.  Specify the Zoom Configuration settings:

Presentation Template

Select a template that uses H264 video.

   If you enable audio transcriptions in Zoom, make sure to use a template for the media project that has audio transcripts disabled. Zoom audio transcripts and 3rd party captioning service, specified in templates, cannot be enabled at the same time.

User Profile Filter

Select how you want Mediasite to handle Zoom meetings that have been created by someone who does not have a user profile:

Import all meetings (user profiles will be created): Select this option to create a user profile and import the meeting.

Only import meetings for existing user profiles: (default value): Select this option to not import the meeting.

   We recommend using existing user profiles for Zoom imports. If you choose to import meetings without user profiles, the Zoom import process will create a username that may not work with your organization’s Mediasite user provisioning conventions.

Always use presenters from template

Select the check box to use the template's presenters instead of the presenter information specified in the original Zoom meeting.

Require module read access to associate import with module

Select this check box so users can only import content using modules that they have read permissions on.
