# How to connect to Zoom on Workato
# API version
Zoom's connector uses Zoom's REST API for integration. For more information, refer to Zoom's API documentation (opens new window).

# Permissions required to connect
We recommend setting up a dedicated API user account in Zoom to authorize Workato. This setup allows you to assign the API user to a role with only the necessary permissions. Alternatively, you can use an existing Zoom owner or admin account, if you ensure it has the required permissions, as some admin accounts might have restricted access due to their specific configurations.
