How do I use Zoom for video chats in my Donut meetings as an individual Donut participant?

Donut’s Zoom integration allows you to start a Zoom meeting directly from within Slack, plus it will automatically include Zoom info in any Donut calendar events (with Google Calendar). Here’s how to sync your Zoom account and start using the integration for your virtual Donut meetings:

Please note: each individual user will need to authorize Zoom for their account in order to use it.

Once your team has the Zoom integration turned on, Donut will include a note in your intro message with a button to get started.

Please note: If you are looking for instructions to turn the Zoom integration on for the entire channel, please go here.

How to start a Zoom meeting with Donut

Once you have completed authorization, you'll be able to start a Zoom meeting from directly within Slack. If you also use Donut's Google Calendar integration to schedule your meetings, any Google Calendar events you create with Donut will include Zoom meetings.

Donut will remind you when it's time to meet so that you can simply click "Start Zoom meeting."

While you're active in the call, your Intro DM in Slack will display who is on the call.


How to Revoke Donut's Access to your Zoom Account

  1. Login to your Zoom account

  2. Navigate to your installed apps in Zoom's App Marketplace

  3. Find the Donut app and click "uninstall"

Note: this only uninstalls Donut from your personal Zoom account. This does not impact your teammates

You can also authorize and revoke access to your Zoom, G-cal, or Microsoft accounts by visiting "Your Integrations" on the dashboard by clicking on the profile picture in the upper right corner.
