Integration for Slack Overview
The integration for Slack is needed to successfully sync your "In Meeting" status on Slack to Zoom. Here's everything you need to know.
- Requirements for using the integration for Slack
-
The integration for Slack is not much useful on its own without integrating with Zoom as well, so it's recommended to have both:
- Valid Slack workspace account
- Valid Zoom account and the Zoom app - doesn't work in the browser due to a limitation in the Zoom API

- Syncing your status on Slack to Zoom meetings
-
If you've enabled the Zoom integration, adding the integration for Slack will automatically start syncing your Zoom in-call status to your status on Slack. Here's how it works:
- When you join a Zoom meeting, Zoom to Slack Status Updater will automatically update your status on Slack to reflect that you're in a meeting. You can customize the message and emoji. 😃
- When you exit a Zoom meeting, Zoom to Slack Status Updater will automatically clear your status on Slack to reflect that you've left the meeting or potentially restore it to whatever status it was before (ex: Lunch).
- How to uninstall Zoom to Slack Status Updater's integration for Slack
- You can do this right inside the Zoom to Slack Status Updater by pressing "Disconnect" on the integration for Slack.
