Prerequisites
Before installation, ensure the following prerequisites are met:
Zoom is installed and running on your computer.
Your organization is using an Enterprise instance of Zoom.
You have administrator rights to your Zoom organization OR you have easy access to an administrator.
You have been sent an invite to Reality Defender’s web application and you have accepted the invite.
(Note: this email address must be the same as your Zoom email address.)
Installation Steps
1. Configure your Zoom settings to allow for Apps to be installed
Navigate to your personal settings on the Zoom Web Portal (https://zoom.us/profile/setting?tab=zoomapps). Confirm that you have “Zoom Apps Quick Launch Button” enabled.
If this feature is currently locked by an Administrator, have a team member with Administrator access navigate to the Account-level settings page (https://zoom.us/account/setting?tab=zoomapps) to unlock it.
2. Configure your Zoom settings to allow for Local Recording of meetings
Navigate to your personal settings on the Zoom Web Portal (https://zoom.us/profile/setting?tab=zoomapps). Confirm that you have “Record to computer files” enabled.
If this feature is currently locked by an Administrator, have a team member with Administrator access navigate to the Account-level settings page (https://zoom.us/account/setting?tab=zoomapps) to unlock it.
3. Install the plugin
Go to the Reality Defender’s Zoom plugin download page (https://rtv.realitydefender.ai/). Click on the prompt to install the plugin.
This will navigate you to a Zoom app download confirmation page. Accept the permissions to add the Zoom app to your Zoom account.
Once you accept, you will be navigated to your Zoom account on your desktop. You should land on a Reality Defender application home page.
4. Enable Reality Defender accounts for the video call detector
Log in to your Reality Defender admin account (app.realitydefender.ai)
Navigate to the Team page
For every user that requires access to the Zoom plugin, click the “Video Call App” toggle for their user row.
If the intended user is not currently a member of your Reality Defender org, invite them to Reality Defender.
The “Video Call App” toggle can only be used on users that have accepted their invite to join Reality Defender.
(NOTE: A user must have the same email address for their Zoom account and their Reality Defender user account for the provisioning to work)
5. Test the plugin in a meeting
Start a new Zoom meeting.
Click on “Apps” in the meeting menu bar.
Click on the Reality Defender app to activate it.
A side panel UI should open upon activation. Then a detector bot should join the meeting, and your side panel should give you the option to scan different meeting participants for deepfake manipulation.
Click the scan button to trigger a deepfake detection scan. This currently requires the plugin to take 10 to 15 seconds of footage for inference. Inference takes an additional 15 to 20 seconds, before a response is returned.
(NOTE: all participants in the meeting will see the detector bot as an attendee, similar to an AI notetaker bot. But only the meeting host will be able to see the side panel UI and to scan participants)
6. Test the admin view
Log on to app.realitydefender.ai/video-calls (NOTE: to view this you need to have admin level privileges in your Reality Defender org.). This dashboard shows all currently active and past web conferencing calls where the detector bot has been invited to scan participants.
You can click on a participant and look into each of the individual participants that got scanned.
After clicking on a participant, you can see a detailed audit trail of scans with their recordings.
For participants with low signs of manipulation, their view should look like the following:
