Video call providers

This page documents the server-level configuration required to support non-default video call integration options on a self-hosted Zulip server.

Zoom

To use the Zoom integration on a self-hosted installation, you'll need to register a custom Zoom app as follows:

  1. Select Build App at the Zoom Marketplace.

  2. Create an app with the OAuth type.

    • Choose an app name such as "ExampleCorp Zulip".
    • Select User-managed app.
    • Disable the option to publish the app on the Marketplace.
    • Click Create.

  3. Inside of the Zoom app management page:

    • On the App Credentials tab, set both the Redirect URL for OAuth and the Whitelist URL to https://zulip.example.com/calls/zoom/complete (replacing zulip.example.com by your main Zulip hostname).
    • On the Scopes tab, add the meeting:write scope.

You can then configure your Zulip server to use that Zoom app as follows:

  1. In /etc/zulip/zulip-secrets.conf, set video_zoom_client_secret to be your app's "Client Secret".

  2. In /etc/zulip/settings.py, set VIDEO_ZOOM_CLIENT_ID to your app's "Client ID".

  3. Restart the Zulip server with /home/zulip/deployments/current/scripts/restart-server.

This enables Zoom support in your Zulip server. Finally, configure Zoom as the video call provider in the Zulip organization(s) where you want to use it.

Big Blue Button

To use the Big Blue Button video call integration on a self-hosted Zulip installation, you'll need to have a Big Blue Button server and configure it:

  1. Get the Shared Secret using the bbb-conf --secret command on your Big Blue Button Server. See also the Big Blue Button documentation.

  2. Get the URL to your Big Blue Button API. The URL has the form of https://bigbluebutton.example.com/bigbluebutton/ and can also be found using the bbb-conf --secret command.

You can then configure your Zulip server to use that Big Blue Button Server as follows:

  1. In /etc/zulip/zulip-secrets.conf, set big_blue_button_secret to be your Big Blue Button Server's shared secret.

  2. In /etc/zulip/settings.py, set BIG_BLUE_BUTTON_URL to your to be your Big Blue Button Server's API URL.

  3. Restart the Zulip server with /home/zulip/deployments/current/scripts/restart-server.

This enables Big Blue Button support in your Zulip server. Finally, configure Big Blue Button as the video call provider in the Zulip organization(s) where you want to use it.
