Workplace Zoom Bot
Note: Zoom Marketplace now offers the Workplace bot. Using the Marketplace app, you can set up a new integration.
Overview
Utilizing the Workplace by Facebook Zoom Bot integration, you can start an instant meeting or join a scheduled meeting quickly. Workplace by Facebook meetings will appear in your Zoom account.
Workplace also lets you live stream meetings and webinars.
Prerequisites
- A Zoom Pro, Business, Education, or API plan
- A Workplace by Facebook account
Note: Even though the Workplace Zoom Bot is approved by Facebook, all Workplace by Facebook users will need to ask Facebook for explicit access to third-party bots. It will not appear until the user asks.
Enabling the Zoom Bot for Workplace
To enable users in your account to use the Zoom Bot for Workplace:
- As an administrator, sign in to Zoom, then click Integration.
- Click Workplace from the menu.
- Sign in to Workplace with the same email address you used to sign in to Zoom, then click Authorize.

Group permissions are assigned to the Zoom Bot.
Zooming in and out at work
Zoom meeting information is shared in the group chat by the Workplace Zoom Bot. Enter the command @zoom help to view information about all available commands.
To start a meeting without a meeting topic, to start a meeting with the specified topic, or to join a meeting, enter the appropriate @zoom command in Group Chats.
Meeting Summary and Recording Link
In the event that the meeting was recorded in the cloud, the Bot will post a summary of the meeting and a link to the recording. This information will not be posted if the meeting used your Personal Meeting ID. You may disable the option to “always use PMI for instant meetings” on your Zoom Profile.
