Few Important Points to Note

1. To add a Zoom host on Freshteam, the user has to be present on both Freshteam and Zoom with the same official email. 

2. Freshteam's Integration works on any of Zoom's plan. You can be a basic Zoom user and still enjoy this integration. The catch, however, comes from Zoom's side for its basic-level users. If you are a Basic plan user of Zoom, you can only host meetings for up to 40 minutes if there are 3 or more people in the meeting.

3. To authenticate Freshteam with Zoom, it is essential you follow the guidelines as mentioned in this article. Since Freshteam is an account-based application, you cannot "pre-approve" the app to enable the integration as one would do for user-based applications. 

4. Uninstalling the Freshteam App on Zoom will automatically uninstall the Zoom App on Freshteam itself, which means all scheduled interviews will be automatically canceled.
