Associate a Zoom meeting with an issue

In order to communicate synchronously for incidents management, GitLab allows to associate a Zoom meeting with an issue. After you start a Zoom call for a fire-fight, you need a way to associate the conference call with an issue. This is so that your team members can join swiftly without requesting a link.

Adding a Zoom meeting to an issue

To associate a Zoom meeting with an issue, you can use GitLab quick actions.

In an issue, leave a comment using the /zoom quick action followed by a valid Zoom link:

/zoom https://zoom.us/j/123456789

If the Zoom meeting URL is valid and you have at least Reporter permissions, a system alert notifies you of its successful addition. The issue’s description is automatically edited to include the Zoom link, and a button appears right under the issue’s title.

You are only allowed to attach a single Zoom meeting to an issue. If you attempt to add a second Zoom meeting using the /zoom quick action, it doesn’t work. You need to remove it first.

Removing an existing Zoom meeting from an issue

Similarly to adding a Zoom meeting, you can remove it with a quick action:

/remove_zoom

If you have at least Reporter permissions, a system alert notifies you that the meeting URL was successfully removed.
