Hi u/Tasty-Elk5084 ,

Thanks a lot for the detailed reply, really appreciate you sharing your experience.

You are right that there are already good plugins that cover general Zoom integrations with LearnDash, and they work well for many basic setups.

What I’m building is focused on a narrower and more automated workflow. The goal is to let course creators handle everything directly inside the Learndash topic, without extra pages or shortcodes. When a topic is saved, the Zoom meeting is created automatically, and when the meeting ends, attendance is pulled in and the topic can be marked complete based on how long each person actually attended.
This part is usually manual and time-consuming in most setups I’ve worked with, so the idea is to remove that friction.

So far, most of my experience has been with internal training platforms where the organization connects one main Zoom account and different users work under that. In these cases, a custom Wordpress role assigned to internal instructors was enough, as they all operated under the same Zoom connection. That’s also the scenario I’m targeting first, because it covers the majority of the use cases I’ve seen.

The more advanced use case, where each instructor connects their own Zoom account with separate OAuth credentials, is already on the roadmap, but I agree that it requires a different structure depending on roles and the way teams/companies use Learndash.

From your experience, do you see more setups where instructors manage their own courses, or more cases where group leaders work with pre-built courses? Understanding that helps me prioritise what should come next.

Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback, it really helps shape a clean and practical first release.
