Using Showyland with Zoom

Last updated 11 November 2026

How to add Showyland to your Zoom account, use it in your meetings, and remove it, and what happens to your data after you remove it.

The app's interface is in Hebrew. Each step below gives the button's Hebrew label next to its meaning.

Before you start

A Mac with Apple silicon and macOS 13 or later.
A Zoom account. To open meetings as their host and bring your audience on stage, the meetings must be yours.
The Showyland installer. We send it to each new customer: write to support@showy.land.

Add Showyland to your Zoom account

Install the app. Open the installer. It adds Showyland, Showyland Camera and Showyland Mic. When macOS asks, allow the camera in System Settings.
Open the Zoom connection window. In Showyland, open חיבור לזום (Connect to Zoom).
Sign in with Zoom. Click התחברות עם Zoom (Sign in with Zoom). Your default browser opens Zoom's own sign-in page. Showyland never sees your Zoom password.
Authorize. Zoom shows what Showyland asks to access (listed below). Click Allow. The browser opens a page at auth.showy.land that hands the answer back to Showyland; if the browser asks whether to open Showyland, allow it. You can close the tab.
Done. The window shows your Zoom name. Showyland keeps you signed in until you sign out or remove it from Zoom.

No Zoom account yet? Sign up at zoom.us, then come back to step 3.

What Showyland may access in Zoom

Showyland asks Zoom for these permissions. Whatever it reads is kept on your Mac only; none of it is sent to us.

Permission	What it reads	What for
`user:read:user`	Your name, email address, Zoom user ID, personal meeting ID and link, and profile picture	To show who is signed in and open your personal meeting room
`user:read:zak`	A short-lived token to start your meetings	To open your meetings as their host. It is kept in memory only.
`cloud_recording:read:list_user_recordings`	The list of your recent cloud recordings	Only when you choose to import a cloud recording
`cloud_recording:read:list_recording_files`	A recording's transcript and chat files. Never its video or audio.	To add the transcript and the chat to everyone to that meeting in Showyland
`meeting:read:list_past_participants`	Zoom's list of who took part: names, email addresses where Zoom has them, join and leave times	To add Zoom's attendance to that meeting, on the same import

Use it in your meetings

Open your meeting

In חיבור לזום, paste your meeting's link or number and click פתיחת הפגישה (Open the meeting). Zoom's own meeting window opens, with you as the host and Showyland Camera and Showyland Mic as your camera and microphone. Whatever your show puts on air is what the meeting sees and hears.

You can also join someone else's meeting as a participant (כניסה לפגישה, Join the meeting). Zoom gives participants' video only to hosts and co-hosts, so your audience can't go on stage there.

Your audience on stage, and Zoom's recording notice

To show participants' video in your show, Showyland uses Zoom's local recording permission, which a host has. While it does, Zoom tells everyone in the meeting that the meeting is being recorded. That notice is Zoom's, and Showyland never hides it. Tell your audience what you show and record, and follow the recording and privacy laws that apply to you and to them.

Zoom doesn't let one account use its cloud recording and Showyland's access to participants' video at the same time. While a cloud recording runs, participants' video pauses in Showyland.

Recordings and attendance

Showyland's own recordings are files on your Mac, in your Movies folder. They are separate from Zoom's cloud recordings.
For each meeting, Showyland keeps who came and for how long, the chat to everyone (never private chat), answers to your questions and clicks on your links. You find them in מפגשים והזמנה חכמה (Meetings and smart invite).
After a meeting with a Zoom cloud recording, ייבוא מהענן של Zoom… (Import from Zoom's cloud) adds its transcript, its chat to everyone and Zoom's list of participants to that meeting.

Features that reach beyond Zoom

These are off until you set them up. When you use them, tell the people in your meeting.

Live to YouTube: your show, including any participant you put on stage, streams from your Mac to your own channel.
Guests by a browser link: a guest without Zoom joins your show from a browser page on your own website. They appear in your show and hear the meeting.
Your own website and CRM: invitations, personal pages and notes after the meeting, on your own WordPress site. See the privacy policy.

Remove Showyland

Sign out in the app. In חיבור לזום, click התנתקות (Sign out). Showyland asks Zoom to revoke its access and deletes your Zoom tokens, profile and profile picture from your Mac.
Remove it from your Zoom account. Sign in at marketplace.zoom.us, open Manage, then Added Apps, find Showyland and click Remove. Zoom ends Showyland's access to your account.
Remove it from your Mac. Quit Showyland. In Applications, move Showyland and Showyland Camera Setup to the Trash; macOS removes the camera with it and may ask for your password. For the microphone: in Finder, choose Go, then Go to Folder, enter /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL, move LiveShowMic.driver to the Trash, and restart the Mac.
Delete your data, if you want to. Removing the app leaves your library on your Mac. To delete it, move these folders to the Trash and empty it:
- ~/Library/Application Support/land.showy.live: your shows, meetings, settings, logs and backups
- ~/Movies/Showyland: recordings
- ~/Pictures/Showyland: photo booth pictures

Your data after removal

In Zoom: Showyland's access ends. Your meetings and cloud recordings are Zoom's to keep, under Zoom's terms.
With us: there is nothing to delete. Our sign-in service keeps no user data, and we never receive your meeting data. When you remove the app, Zoom notifies our service, which only confirms the notice.
On your Mac: if you remove Showyland in Zoom without signing out first, the app signs out by itself the next time it checks its access and deletes your Zoom tokens and profile. The small copy of your profile picture is deleted when you sign out in the app or delete its library. Your meetings, recordings and transcripts stay on your Mac until you delete them: inside the app (מחיקת המפגש, Delete the meeting, or a recording to the Trash) or with step 4 above.
On your own website, if you connected one: personal pages expire after the number of days you chose, share pages come down when you delete their meeting, and contacts and notes in your CRM stay there under your control.
