Manage the Zoom Integration


Article Summary

With a Zoom Integration, all participants in your organization's program will see Zoom as the default location when scheduling meetings on the Torch platform. Follow the steps below to add or remove the Zoom Integration for your organization.

Add the Zoom Integration for Your Organization

A Zoom account with administrator privileges is required to complete the integration configuration. Follow the relevant instructions below depending on if you are the Zoom administrator or if you are not the Zoom administrator for your organization

NOTE: By enabling the Zoom Integration, this gives the Torch application permission to lookup the Zoom host account for your organization's Torch users and create meetings, as well as receive notifications when those meetings are completed. Torch will never access data from non-Torch booked meetings, nor will we ever record or access any meeting content. For more information, reference the Torch Leadership Labs app listing in the Zoom App Marketplace.

Remove the Zoom Integration for Your Organization

Follow these steps if your organization has set up a Zoom integration with Torch that you want to fully remove. 

Once you've removed the Zoom integration: 

  • Participants in your organization will no longer be able to select Zoom as the location when scheduling their meetings. 

  • Any previously scheduled meetings will remain booked with Zoom, unless edited by the meeting host to use Torch videoconferencing or another provider. 

  • Updates to previously scheduled meetings, specifically changes to the dates and times, will not be reflected in Zoom going forward unless the integration is re-enabled. 

  • Torch will not receive post-meeting updates from Zoom for any meetings that occur in Zoom after the integration has been disconnected. This may cause gaps in participation reporting, unless you create a support request to ensure these meetings are manually logged by our Support Team.


Step 1

Follow the steps outlined in the Zoom support article "Installing and uninstalling apps from Marketplace" to remove the Torch Leadership Labs app from your Zoom App Marketplace.

The will automatically trigger the integration into a disabled state on the Torch platform.


Step 2

If you want to verify the disconnection, log in to Torch. In the bottom-left corner, click Admin settings.

The General tab opens by default. Click the Integrations tab.

On the Zoom Teleconferencing card, look for the "Not Added" status.


TORCH TIP: If you need assistance removing your Zoom integration, or want to ensure that any meetings scheduled with Zoom prior to removing the integration are logged in Torch, create a support request.
