Changelog

2.3

• Fix deleting Zoom meetings that were already deleted on the Zoom side when running outside a web request context (e.g. during scheduled deletion of events)
• Fix overwriting co-hosts added via the Zoom client when using "make me co-host" in Indico
• Always refresh data from Zoom before editing via Indico to avoid saving with stale data
• Add option to link to an external page with phone-in instructions
• Fix showing the zoom join link in the info box

2.3b2

• Improve logging when a Zoom API request fails
• Fail more gracefully if no Zoom account could be found for a user
• Allow using the same name for multiple Zoom rooms
• Update the join url when changing the passcode
• Provide an alternative method of looking up the Zoom user corresponding to an Indico user
• Always show the full join link and passcode to event managers
• The meeting passcode can be restricted to registered participants
• Show "Make me host" button in the management area and in contributions/sessions as well
• Warn the user if they delete a Zoom meeting linked to multiple events if they aren't the host
• Change Zoom meeting to "recurring meeting" when cloning an event
• Show detailed error when deleting a meeting fails
• Do not allow passcodes that are too long for zoom
• Remove the "Assistant Zoom ID" logic due to problems with Zoom's API rate limits (all meetings created were counted against the assistant's rate limit instead of the host's); this means the host can no longer be changed, but Indico instead provides an option to event managers to make themselves a co-host.
• Fix an error when changing the linked object of a recurring Zoom room in Indico
• Include Zoom join links in the event's ical export (note: only Zoom meetings with a public passcode are displayed unless you have at least Indico v2.3.3)
• Skip deleted Zoom meetings when cloning events
• Mark Zoom meetings as deleted when receiving the corresponding webhook event
• Add missing admin-level settings for VC managers, creation ACL and notification email addresses

Breaking change: The email domains are now stored as a list of strings instead of a comma-separated list. You need to update them in the plugin settings.

2.3b1

• Initial beta release
