Zoom integration
Create a separate Zoom meeting for every interview, hosted on each interviewer's own Zoom account.
Overview
Section titled “Overview”Connect your Zoom account so Dover creates a new Zoom meeting for each interview you schedule. Each interviewer connects their own account in Settings → Integrations.
How the Zoom integration works
Section titled “How the Zoom integration works”The Zoom integration gives every interview its own meeting, so candidates never share a room.
- Dover creates the meeting on the interviewer’s Zoom account when the interview is booked.
- The meeting’s name in Zoom includes the job title and the candidate’s name, for example Senior Software Engineer interview with Alice Johnson.
- The Zoom link and dial-in numbers go into the calendar invite and the emails Dover sends the candidate.
- When an interview has more than one interviewer, the meeting is hosted on the account of the first interviewer added to that interview.
Connect your Zoom account
Section titled “Connect your Zoom account”Each interviewer connects their own Zoom account. A teammate’s connection doesn’t create meetings for your interviews.
- Go to Settings → Integrations.
- Click Zoom.
- Click Connect Zoom. Zoom opens in a new tab.
- Sign in to Zoom and approve the connection.
- Return to Dover. Your Zoom email address appears under Zoom once the connection is complete.
To add a second Zoom account, click Connect another account. If you connect more than one Zoom account, Dover creates new meetings on the account you connected most recently.
Use Zoom for your interviews
Section titled “Use Zoom for your interviews”After you connect Zoom, choose it as your meeting location.
- Go to Settings → Interviews & Notetaker.
- Under Meeting location, select Zoom.
- Click Save.
Dover now creates a Zoom meeting for each new interview you’re booked into. The Zoom option stays unavailable until your account is connected.
Meeting settings Dover applies
Section titled “Meeting settings Dover applies”Dover sets these options on every meeting it creates, so candidates can join without extra steps:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Personal meeting room | Not used. Each interview gets a new meeting ID. |
| Registration | Not required |
| Zoom sign-in for participants | Not required |
| Waiting room | Off |
| Zoom AI Companion meeting summary | Off |
Your Zoom account’s admin settings can override some of these. For example, a Zoom admin can lock the waiting room on for everyone.
Reconnect or disconnect Zoom
Section titled “Reconnect or disconnect Zoom”If your Zoom access expires or is revoked, the Zoom dialog shows a reconnect message under your Zoom email address. To fix it, click Connect Zoom and approve the connection again.
To stop using the Zoom integration:
- Go to Settings → Integrations and click Zoom.
- Click Disconnect next to your Zoom account.
- Click Disconnect to confirm.
Interviews that are already scheduled keep their Zoom links. After you disconnect, go to Settings → Interviews & Notetaker and choose a different option under Meeting location, so your new interviews get a meeting link.
