Deploying the API Connector Hybrid service
The Zoom Node API Connector Manager module is an alternative to traditional API Connector deployment with a Windows virtual machine (VM) or standalone Docker container. Unlike deployment using a Windows VM or standalone Docker container, with Zoom Node, admins can monitor the services and server health from within the Node section of the Zoom Web Portal.
