What are the different Zoom authorization types in Canvas Studio?

Server-to-Server OAuth

Server-to-Server OAuth streamlines the authorization process by removing the need for individual user authorization. Once an administrator configures Zoom with this OAuth type, users no longer need to authorize themselves. This allows Studio to interact with Zoom at an application level, utilizing the scopes granted by the Zoom App.

However, users are still required to perform a form of authorization to enable saving recordings to their correct user library. If a user's Studio email matches their Zoom email, authorization is straightforward. Otherwise, the user will verify their Zoom email via an email verification process.

User Authorization (User-Managed OAuth) [Legacy]

This method is maintained for backward compatibility. For new configurations, it is highly recommended to use Server-to-Server authorization.
