edX is deprecating the edx\_zoom xblock. The edx\_zoom xblock is defined at [GitHub - edx/edx-zoom: Zoom XBlock](https://github.com/edx/edx-zoom).  
The xblock was a beta testing feature leveraged by limited set of courses to use Zoom to run live meetings and presentations.  
Currently, there is no more active running courses using the xblock.

The xblock is already marked disabled and deprecated on [edx.org](http://edx.org) LMS and Studio.

Please reach out to me and/or this thread if you have concerns or questions

Since I have not received any feedback about this deprecation. I am proceeding with deprecating the xblock today. Thanks
