Background reference for embedded Zoom meetings across web, mobile, desktop, and Linux bot environments. Prefer build-zoom-meeting-app or build-zoom-bot first, then route here for platform detail.

Zoom Meeting SDK

Embed the full Zoom meeting experience into web, mobile, desktop, and headless integrations.

Hard Routing Guardrail (Read First)

• If the user asks to embed/join meetings inside their app UI, route to Meeting SDK implementation.
• Do not switch to REST-only meeting link flow unless the user explicitly asks for meeting resource management or browser join_url links.
• Meeting SDK join path requires SDK signature + SDK join call; REST join_url is not a Meeting SDK join payload.

Prerequisites

• Zoom app with Meeting SDK credentials
• SDK Key and Secret from Marketplace
• Platform-specific development environment (Web, Android, iOS, macOS, Unreal, Electron, Linux, or Windows)

Need to create the SDK app first? Use Marketplace app management for app creation, manifest validation, app-type quirks, and credential response shapes before generating Meeting SDK signatures. Start from the Meeting SDK create template.

Need help with OAuth or signatures? See the zoom-oauth skill for authentication flows.

Need pre-join diagnostics on web? Use probe-sdk before Meeting SDK init/join to gate low-readiness devices/networks.

Start troubleshooting fast: Use the 5-Minute Runbook before deep debugging.
