Connect the integration
To get started with the Wistia and Zoom integration, you’ll need a Zoom account with Cloud recordings enabled. You can connect your Zoom account to Wistia in one of three ways:
In a folder, by selecting the “Import from Zoom” option
In Account Settings
In the Zoom Marketplace
Note
Since the Zoom integration is personally tied to the email associated with your Zoom account, only your own recordings will import from Zoom.
Connect to Zoom from a Wistia folder
Within a folder, click the “Add” menu, then hover over "Import." Select the option to “Import from Zoom.” If you don't have an active Zoom account connected, you'll be prompted to log in to your Zoom account and connect it to Wistia.
Once you enter your Zoom credentials and successfully connect, you will be redirected back to your folder, where you can configure your integration settings or continue on to manually import recordings.
Connect to Zoom from account settings
Head to the Integrations page in your account settings and select the Zoom integration from the "Content" tab.
Once you select the Zoom integration, you'll be prompted to log in to Zoom and grant Wistia access to your account. Once connected successfully, you’ll be directed back to the Integrations page. Here, you can configure auto-import, or head back to a folder to import your recordings.
Add the Wistia app from the Zoom App Marketplace
Another way to set up the Wistia and Zoom integration is to add the Wistia app from the Zoom App Marketplace. Steps to add the app are as follows:
Navigate to the Zoom App Marketplace or find the listing in the Recordings category.
Once on the Wistia listing, click the “Add” button and go through the setup flow.
After successfully completing setup, you’ll land on your Integrations page in Wistia, where you can configure your integration settings or jump into one of your folders to get started importing your previous recordings.
Import Zoom cloud recordings
Once Zoom is connected, you can either automatically import new cloud recordings or manually import cloud recordings from the past 30 days.
Note
Any transcripts associated with your cloud recordings will not be imported into Wistia. Instead, you can manually upload the SRT file to the media after importing.
Configure automatic imports
After setting up the integration, there will be an option to “Auto-import cloud recordings initiated from Zoom.” If this option is selected, any new cloud recordings will be automatically imported into your Wistia account.
Note
Cloud recordings will be automatically imported either to the folder where you originally connected the integration or to the folder you selected in the configuration settings
To change this setting, navigate to the Integrations page in Settings. You can toggle this option on or off, or select a specific folder to import cloud recordings.
Manually import recordings
To manually select recordings you want to import, head to a folder, click "Add," then choose “Import from Zoom”.
If there is an active Zoom integration, this will display a screen that lets you select any cloud recordings (from the last 30 days) you want to import into Wistia.
Tip
By default, most Zoom recordings are compiled into a single media file. However, within your Recording settings in Zoom, you may be able to change your "Cloud recording setting," which determines how your recording appears in Wistia.
If you choose the "Record active speaker, gallery view, and shared screen separately" option, our Zoom integration will import each stream as a separate media file.
Disconnect the integration
To disconnect the integration in Wistia:
Log in to your Wistia account and navigate to the Integrations page in Settings (or click here).
Select the “Disconnect” option under the Zoom integration.
All done! This will disconnect the integration and revoke your Zoom credentials.
To remove the Wistia app from your Zoom account:
Log in to your Zoom account and navigate to the Zoom App Marketplace.
Click "Manage" > "Added Apps" or search for the Wistia app.
Click the "Remove" button.
