About ZD Embed for Zoom Meeting SDK
From the official readme · v1.1.2Description
ZD Embed for Zoom Meeting SDK lets you embed a meeting experience inside WordPress pages (not an iframe). It uses the Zoom Meeting SDK (Web) and generates the required signature on your server via a protected REST endpoint.
Features:
* Custom Post Type: Zoom Rooms (each room has a public URL like /zoom/my-room/)
* Shortcode embedding anywhere
* Server-side signature (JWT HS256) via REST endpoint protected by a temporary token
* Optional “Leave URL”
* Anti-cache headers for embed pages (helps prevent expired-token issues)
Important notes:
* You cannot reliably embed a standard Zoom join link in an iframe due to browser/platform restrictions. The recommended way is the Meeting SDK.
* By default the plugin generates attendee (role=0) signatures only. Host role requires additional security and is intentionally blocked.
Zoom App Setup (Meeting SDK)
To embed meetings you need a Zoom app with Meeting SDK enabled.
Steps (high-level):
1. Go to the Zoom App Marketplace and choose Develop → Build App.
2. Create a General App.
3. Open Embed and enable Meeting SDK.
4. Copy your credentials (Client ID/Secret or SDK Key/Secret) from App Credentials.
Official documentation:
* Meeting SDK – Create your app
* Meeting SDK – Authentication / signature
(These links are also included inside the plugin admin screen.)
Shortcode
Use this shortcode in any post/page:
[zd_zoom_embed meeting_number=”123456789″ passcode=”ABC123″ height=”700″ auto_join=”1″ user_name=”Guest”]
Arguments:
* meeting_number (required)
* passcode (optional)
* height (default 700)
* auto_join (default 1)
* user_name (optional)
Installation
- Upload the plugin ZIP in Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, then activate it.
- Go to Settings → ZD Zoom Embed and set your SDK Key/Secret.
Recommended (more secure): add them towp-config.php:
define('ZDZE_SDK_KEY', 'YOUR_SDK_KEY_OR_CLIENT_ID');
define('ZDZE_SDK_SECRET', 'YOUR_SDK_SECRET_OR_CLIENT_SECRET'); - Create a Zoom Room in the WordPress admin and enter:
- Meeting Number
- Passcode
- Visit the public URL of that Zoom Room, or use the shortcode.
Frequently asked questions
Why do I get “Invalid or expired token”?
Usually caused by page caching (serving a stale token). Exclude your Zoom Room URLs from cache and purge all caches (plugin/server/CDN).
Can I embed webinars?
This plugin focuses on meetings. Webinar embedding can be added later, but it depends on your Zoom setup and SDK requirements.
