Hi @Arabian — welcome to the community!

The “Invalid Zoom Account Error” usually means that the Zoom app credentials aren’t set up properly or the wrong app type was created.

To fix this, make sure you follow these steps:

  1. Create a Server-to-Server (S2S) OAuth App in the Zoom App Marketplace.
  • Do not use the regular OAuth app type if you’re aiming for API access without user redirection or LMS-style integration.
  1. Configure the app correctly:
  • Add all the required scopes (depending on what features your LMS integration needs).
  • Complete the App Credentials section properly.
  1. Once your app is activated, copy the following and make sure they’re used correctly in your LMS or code:
  • Client ID
  • Client Secret
  • Account ID
  1. Double-check that you’re using these credentials for Server-to-Server OAuth authentication and not regular OAuth flows.

If you’ve done all this and still see the error, try regenerating the secret and rechecking the scopes. Let us know how it goes!
