In this tutorial, you'll learn how to integrate Zoom with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). When you integrate Zoom with Azure AD, you can:
- Control in Azure AD who has access to Zoom.
- Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to Zoom with their Azure AD accounts.
- Manage your accounts in one central location - the Azure portal.
On the View tab, in the Zoom group, click Zoom, and then enter a percentage or choose any other settings that you want. Do one of the following: On the View tab, in the Zoom group, click Zoom 100%. On the View tab, in the Zoom group, click Zoom to Selection, which maximizes the view of cells that you've selected. Collaborate for free with online versions of Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and OneNote. Save documents, spreadsheets, and presentations online, in OneDrive. When I go to the Insert menu, there is no Zoom option listed. After manually adding the option, Zoom, Summary Zoom, Slide Zoom, and Section Zoom are all greyed out. I have updated the software, uninstalled, reinstalled. The option is still missing. I have Office 2016 Home and Student. My current version is 1712 (Build 8827.2148).
Prerequisites
To get started, you need the following items:
- An Azure AD subscription. If you don't have a subscription, you can get a free account.
- Zoom single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.
Scenario description
In this tutorial, you configure and test Azure AD SSO in a test environment.
- Zoom supports SP initiated SSO and
- Zoom supports Automated user provisioning.
Adding Zoom from the gallery
To configure the integration of Zoom into Azure AD, you need to add Zoom from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.
- Sign in to the Azure portal using either a work or school account, or a personal Microsoft account.
- On the left navigation pane, select the Azure Active Directory service.
- Navigate to Enterprise Applications and then select All Applications.
- To add new application, select New application.
- In the Add from the gallery section, type Zoom in the search box.
- Select Zoom from results panel and then add the app. Wait a few seconds while the app is added to your tenant.
Configure and test Azure AD SSO for Zoom
Configure and test Azure AD SSO with Zoom using a test user called B.Simon. For SSO to work, you need to establish a link relationship between an Azure AD user and the related user in Zoom.
To configure and test Azure AD SSO with Zoom, perform the following steps:
- Configure Azure AD SSO - to enable your users to use this feature.
- Create an Azure AD test user - to test Azure AD single sign-on with B.Simon.
- Assign the Azure AD test user - to enable B.Simon to use Azure AD single sign-on.
- Configure Zoom SSO - to configure the Single Sign-On settings on application side.
- Create Zoom test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in Zoom that is linked to the Azure AD representation of user.
- Test SSO - to verify whether the configuration works.
Configure Azure AD SSO
Follow these steps to enable Azure AD SSO in the Azure portal.
In the Azure portal, on the Zoom application integration page, find the Manage section and select Single sign-on.
On the Select a Single sign-on method page, select SAML.
On the Set up Single Sign-On with SAML page, click the edit/pen icon for Basic SAML Configuration to edit the settings.
On the Basic SAML Configuration section, perform the following steps:
a. In the Sign on URL text box, type a URL using the following pattern:
https://<companyname>.zoom.us
b. In the Identifier (Entity ID) text box, type a URL using the following pattern:
<companyname>.zoom.us
c. In the Reply URL text box, type a URL using the following pattern:
https://<companyname>.zoom.us
Note
These values are not real. Update these values with the actual Sign on URL and Identifier. Contact Zoom Client support team to get these values. You can also refer to the patterns shown in the Basic SAML Configuration section in the Azure portal.
On the Set up Single Sign-On with SAML page, in the SAML Signing Certificate section, find Certificate (Base64) and select Download to download the certificate and save it on your computer.
On the Set up Zoom section, copy the appropriate URL(s) based on your requirement.
Note
To learn how to configure Role in Azure AD, see Configure the role claim issued in the SAML token for enterprise applications.
Note
Zoom might expect a group claim in the SAML payload. If you have created any groups, contact the Zoom Client support team with the group information so they can configure the group information on their end. You also need to provide the Object ID to Zoom Client support team so they can configure the Object ID on their end. To get the Object ID, see Configuring Zoom with Azure.
