Configuring Zoom with Microsoft Entra (previously known as Azure)

You can connect Zoom with Microsoft Entra to use your company's Microsoft Entra credentials to log in to your Zoom account via Single Sign-On (SSO). You can assign users Zoom licenses based on their group in Microsoft Entra.

Note: As of September 8, 2023, customers are longer be able to create new JWT apps. Authentication for tokens created using the JWT app type will stop functioning on this day, so to prevent disruption we recommended migrating to OAuth authentication as soon as possible.

Requirements for configuring Zoom with Microsoft Entra

Note: Without an approved associated domain, users will need to confirm to be provisioned on the account through an email automatically sent to them. Provisioning will take place without email confirmation for any users falling under an approved domain.

(Optional) How to set up Auto Provisioning (SCIM) in Microsoft Entra ID

Auto-provisioning allows the management of users within Zoom from Microsoft Entra utilizing SCIM. SCIM is a subset of the Zoom APIs specific to user management.

If a user is added to Microsoft Entra and/or assigned the Zoom app, they will be provisioned in Zoom automatically. If the user is unassigned or deactivated in Microsoft Entra, they will be deactivated in Zoom as well.

Notes:

  1. Click the following link to enable OAuth support in Microsoft Entra and sign in if you are not already signed in.
    Note: OAuth will not be available if you do not use the above link.
  2. Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications.
  3. Click the Zoom application you created.
  4. Under Manage, click Provisioning.

    Note: It may take a few minutes for Microsoft Entra to save the settings on the back end. Until the settings are appropriately set on the back end, the test connection may return a test failure. Please wait a few minutes and attempt Test Connection again.
  10. Click Save.
    Note: for additional SCIM configuration options and guidance, submit a request to Zoom Support.
