How to use zoom on my website for interviews

Zoom Meeting SDK (Embedded Meetings)

This is likely your best fit. The Zoom Meeting SDK (formerly Web SDK) lets you embed a Zoom meeting experience directly into your website so students never have to leave Edulytic.com. The flow would look something like this:

1. Student books an interview via your website's scheduling form.
2. Your backend creates a Zoom meeting using the Zoom Server-to-Server OAuth API (POST /v2/users/{userId}/meetings).
3. At the scheduled time, both the student and the interviewer join the meeting in an embedded iframe/component on your site using the Meeting SDK.

This gives you a branded, seamless experience — the student clicks "Join Interview" on your site and they're in, no Zoom app needed.

Zoom Scheduler + Website Embed

If you want something simpler and lower-code, Zoom Scheduler lets your counselors share booking links. You could embed these links (or iframe them) on your website so students pick an available slot and a Zoom meeting is auto-created. It's less custom but much faster to set up.

Key Things to Consider

For the SDK approach, you'll need a paid Zoom account (Pro or higher) and to register a Zoom Marketplace app (either Server-to-Server OAuth for backend meeting creation, or a Meeting SDK app for the embedded client). There's no per-meeting SDK fee on standard plans — it's included.

For data compliance, since you're a UK consultancy working with students, keep GDPR in mind. Zoom's data processing is configurable by region, and you'll want to make sure recordings (if any) and personal data handling are disclosed properly.

For the booking/scheduling piece, Zoom's API alone doesn't give you a full booking UI — you'd pair it with your own calendar logic, or a tool like Calendly/Cal.com that integrates with Zoom, or build a lightweight scheduler on your site.

Recommended Starting Point

Given Edulytic is a consultancy website (not a massive SaaS platform), I'd suggest starting with:

1. Zoom Scheduler or Calendly + Zoom integration embedded on your site for booking. I will recommend Zoom Scheduler
2. Zoom Meeting SDK embedded on a /join-interview page for the actual meeting experience.

This gives you the "book and conduct interviews without leaving the website" experience your team is after, without needing to build a full scheduling backend from scratch.

hi ​@Nouman Ali ,

There is no easy way to do that.

You would have to learn how to program Zoom Apps with the meeting SDK.
The developers have their own forum. https://devforum.zoom.us/
What you can do is embed the Zoom schedule feature of Zoom for people to book on your site. This is done by using the browser version of zoom to become part of your website.

I have been looking at making some WordPress Plugins to add more Zoom features, but it is quite a big project.

All the best
