Introduction
Integrating a Zoom App through the Zoom Marketplace allows you to extend Zoom’s functionality and streamline your application workflow.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create a Zoom App, configure its settings, and prepare it for development or deployment.
Set Up and Configure Your Zoom App
Log in to the Zoom Marketplace
- Go to https://marketplace.zoom.us/.
- Log in using an Admin account (required to create apps).
Access the Build App Section
- On the right-hand side of the page, click the Develop dropdown.
- Select Build App.
- Choose Zoom Apps and click the Create button.
Name and Configure Your App
- Enter your desired App Name in the field provided. (Note: This name cannot be changed later, so choose carefully.)
- Toggle the Distribution option to ON if you plan to publish your app to the Zoom Marketplace; otherwise, toggle it OFF.
- Click the Create button.
Fill in App Details
| Field | Description |
| Home URL | The URL Zoom will open when your app is launched. |
| Redirect URL for OAuth | The URL where Zoom will redirect users after they authorize your app (typically, your Home URL with /auth appended). |
| Add Allow Lists | Input the Redirect URL for OAuth. |

Set App Scopes
- In the Scopes section, note that zoomapp:inmeeting is added by default. To extend the capabilities, add the APIs and scopes that are needed under this section. This will be for calling the Zoom API with your Zoom App OAuth Token.

Troubleshooting and FAQs
Q: What should I do if I encounter issues logging in to the Zoom Marketplace?
A: Ensure you are using an Admin account, as only Admin accounts have the necessary permissions to create apps. If problems persist, check your account credentials or contact Zoom support
Q: Why isn’t my app name being accepted?
A: The app name you choose must be unique and, once set, cannot be changed. If you receive an error, try a different name that aligns with your app’s purpose.
