zoom-rtms

Reference guidance for Zoom Realtime Media Streams, a service that sends live meeting data to a backend. The data can include audio, video, screen sharing, chat, and transcripts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building a backend that handles live Zoom meeting, webinar, Video SDK, or contact-center voice data. It also describes how a separate frontend could display or control that data.
Why use it?
It explains how to receive and process live Zoom streams, including the event that tells a backend streaming can begin.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

zoom-rtms scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Zoom Realtime Media Streams (RTMS)

Background reference for live Zoom media pipelines. Prefer build-zoom-bot first, then use this skill for stream types, capabilities, and RTMS-specific implementation constraints.

Zoom Realtime Media Streams (RTMS)

Expert guidance for accessing live audio, video, transcript, chat, and screen share data from Zoom meetings, webinars, Video SDK sessions, and Zoom Contact Center Voice in real-time. RTMS uses a WebSocket-based protocol with open standards and does not require a meeting bot to capture the media plane.

Read This First (Critical)

RTMS is primarily a backend media ingestion service.

  • Your backend receives and processes live media: audio, video, screen share, chat, transcript.
  • RTMS is not a frontend UI SDK by itself.
  • Processing is event-triggered: backend waits for RTMS start webhook events before stream handling begins.

Optional architecture (common):

  • Add a Zoom App SDK frontend for in-client UI/controls.
  • Stream backend RTMS outputs to frontend via WebSocket (or SSE, gRPC, queue workers, etc.).

Use RTMS for media/data plane, and use frontend frameworks/Zoom Apps for presentation + user interactions.

Official Documentation: https://developers.zoom.us/docs/rtms/ SDK Reference (JS): https://zoom.github.io/rtms/js/ SDK Reference (Python): https://zoom.github.io/rtms/py/ Sample Repository: https://github.com/zoom/rtms-samples

New to RTMS? Follow this path:

  1. Connection Architecture - Two-phase WebSocket design
  2. SDK Quickstart - Fastest way to receive media (recommended)
  3. Manual WebSocket - Full protocol control without SDK
  4. Media Types - Audio, video, transcript, chat, screen share

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
