Zoom2Youtube is a utility for transferring video recordings from the Zoom.us to YouTube

At Welltory, we hold and record 3-4 virtual meetings every day. The easiest way is to record meetings in zoom.us, then upload them to YouTube where they can be accessed by anyone, from any device: phones, Chromecast, etc. We’ve automated video transfers from Zoom to YouTube, added notifications, and now every recording is automatically dropped into a Slack channel. We use privacy settings (unlisted) on YouTube to make sure people who aren’t on the team don’t have access to our meetings.

The project is written in Python and launched in Docker. This simplifies the project’s initial deployment.

Quick Start Guide

Step 1 - Set up Docker

Install Docker and Docker-Compose

1. Docker installation instructions: https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/#install-docker-ce
2. Docker-compose installation instructions: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/#alternative-install-options

Then create a Docker image. To do this, enter the command:

    $ make build

Step 2 - set up Zoom

You need to create a .env file in the root directory of the project, specifying the keys listed below:

ZOOM_API_KEY
ZOOM_API_SECRET
ZOOM_EMAIL

To get the keys, follow these steps:

1. Follow the link: https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/build/jwt-app
2. Create JWT app
3. Enter the API Key in ZOOM_API_KEY, API Secret in ZOOM_API_SECRET

Step 3 - Set up Youtube

Add the following keys to the .env file

GOOGLE_REFRESH_TOKEN
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET

To get the keys, follow these steps:

1. Go to the developer console: https://console.developers.google.com/cloud-resource-manager
2. Create a new project and go to the new project
3. Follow the link: https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/youtube.googleapis.com/overview
4. Turn on YouTube Data API v3
5. Follow the link: https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials
6. create OAuth client credentials.
7. Select Other types or Other (depends on localization), create
8. Enter Client ID in GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID and Client Secret in GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET

To get the GOOGLE_REFRESH_TOKEN follow these steps:

1. Follow the link: https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?client_id=<GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID>&redirect_uri=urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob&scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.upload&access_type=offline&response_type=code, replacing <GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID> with the GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID, you got from the previous step
2. Select the Google account you need access for
3. Get access
4. Enter the token in the .env file, in the .env in the GOOGLE_CODE field
5. Run the script in docker container

    $ docker-compose run app bash
    $ python3.6 src/get_google_refresh_token.py`

6. Enter the refresh token in the .env file, in the GOOGLE_REFRESH_TOKEN field

Step 4 - Set up Slack

Add the following keys to the .env file

SLACK_CHANNEL
SLACK_TOKEN

1. Enter the recipients (separated with commas) in SLACK_CHANNEL, for example SLACK_CHANNEL=#my_cannel,@my_user
2. Enter the slack token in SLACK_TOKEN

Step 5 - Check keys

To make sure all the keys were entered into the .env file, run the script in docker container

    $ docker-compose run app bash
    $ python3.6 src/check_env.py

Step 6 - Run the app

Launch the container:

    $ make up

Another way to run the app, through virtualenv

1. Create a virtual environment

    $ virtualenv venv -p /usr/bin/python3 --no-site-package

2. Activate virtual environment

    $ source venv/bin/activate

3. Establish requirements

    $ pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Copy cron config

    $ sudo cp cron/crontab /etc/cron.d/zoom2youtube-cron

5. Restart cron

    $  sudo service cron restart
