Creating Zoom meetings from Indico

As said in Zoom videoconference plugin beta, I managed to install and configure the plugin. The installation documentation is very short… because it is so simple to configure in fact! (may be a more direct link to the Zoom app registration page will help people like me with tired eyes!!!). It was so easy to setup that it is already in production at ICJLab !!

Probably the other point deserving a few lines in the documentation is how an Indico user is matched to a Zoom account. At IJCLab, all Zoom accounts are in the form xxx.yyyy@ijclab.in2p3.fr and this (valid) email is not necessarily the primary email for the users. We decided for the time being to document what a user should do to add this secondary email in order to be able to create Zoom meetings from Indico. We’ll see later if we need to add it by script… currently we are not convinced it is worth the effort.
