Overview: imper.ai for Zoom

Prev Next

imper.ai integrates with Zoom to protect meetings against impersonation, social engineering and deepfake attacks by verifying participants in real time.

Using multi-layer analysis across identity, device and network signals, imper.ai assigns a risk score to meeting participants and provides administrators and protected users with actionable visibility - without disrupting the meeting experience.


Prerequisites

  • Entra ID or Google Workspace is connected to imper.ai.

  • The Zoom communication channel is connected to imper.ai.


How does it work?

Key components

The Zoom integration consists of three distinct components:

  1. Calendar used to schedule Zoom meetings

    Enables protection of all scheduled Zoom meetings between a protected user in your organization and one additional participant (internal or external).

  2. Zoom Communication Channel

    Enables imper.ai to monitor Zoom meetings in real time using Zoom APIs, webhooks and event subscriptions.

  3. imper.ai Zoom Add-on

    An optional Zoom add-on that provides real-time visibility and verification controls inside the Zoom Meeting Client for protected users.

These components serve different purposes and are deployed separately.

Note:  The calendars supported for Scheduled Zoom Meeting Protection: Outlook Calendar (desktop or web ) and Google Calendar.


What does imper.ai protect?

imper.ai protects:

  1. Outgoing scheduled meetings

  2. Two-participant meetings, consisting of a protected user and one additional participant (1:1 meetings)

imper.ai enables:

  1. Automatic Verification

  • Invited participants are automatically verified before joining the meeting.

  1. On-Demand Verification

  • Using the imper.ai Zoom Add-on, protected users can send a verification request during the meeting.


Protected User Experience (High Level)

Once deployed:

  • Calendar invitations containing Zoom links are automatically wrapped with imper.ai verification

  • Participants are redirected to a pre-verification page before joining

  • imper.ai evaluates identity signals and assigns a real-time risk score

  • Verification results are visible to administrators and protected users (via the add-on)

Participants are not shown their internal risk score.


Deployment Order (Important)

To deploy imper.ai for Zoom successfully, follow this order:

  1. Configure Microsoft Entra ID or Google Workspace

  2. Connect Zoom Communication Channel

  3. Deploy the imper.ai Zoom Add-on (optional but recommended)

  4. (Optional) Set a custom meeting URL to include your organization’s name in meeting links.

    Each step is documented in a dedicated onboarding article.


What’s Next

To complete the Zoom onboarding, continue with:

  1. Prerequisites & Deployment Order (Zoom)

  2. Microsoft Entra Permissions

  3. Zoom Permissions

  4. Connecting Zoom (Communication Channel)

  5. Deploying the imper.ai Zoom Add-on
