What zoom-apps-sdk does

This skill guides agents when building web apps that run inside the Zoom desktop client. If your project only requires embedding video meetings into an external site, the guide directs you to Meeting SDK instead.

The workflow starts with verifying the running context. It handles meetings, webinars, phone calls, or collaborate mode. Next, developers must set up Zoom Marketplace credentials, domain allowlists, CSP, and in-client OAuth before calling SDK methods. The client loads zoomSdk and checks capabilities before enabling advanced features like breakout rooms or the Layers API.

Authentication redirects and CSP rules frequently fail without correct Marketplace domain configurations. The instructions structure debugging steps to isolate blank panels, missing capabilities, and context mismatches.

What it helps with

  • route between Zoom Apps SDK and Meeting SDK architectures
  • configure in-client OAuth and allowed domains in Zoom Marketplace
  • initialize zoomSdk based on running context and feature capabilities
  • debug blank panels, CSP mismatches, and redirect errors

Example prompts for the agent

  • Set up in-client OAuth for a Zoom Apps SDK project
  • Check the running context before calling the Layers API
  • Debug a blank panel caused by CSP issues in the Zoom client

# Zoom Apps SDK

Use this skill when the app runs inside the Zoom client. If the user only needs to embed a meeting in an external app, route to Meeting SDK instead.

## Workflow

1. Confirm the running context: meeting, webinar, main client, phone, collaborate mode, immersive mode, camera mode, or Layers API.
2. Configure Marketplace app settings, allowed domains, redirect URIs, and in-client OAuth before implementing SDK calls.
3. Initialize `zoomSdk` and gate features by capability and running context.
4. Design client communication and data flow: frontend SDK calls, backend REST calls, in-client OAuth tokens, and webhook handoff.
5. Implement advanced client features only after the base app loads reliably: Layers API, breakout rooms, guest mode, collaborate mode, or ZMail.
6. Debug blank panels, domain allowlist issues, CSP, missing capabilities, running-context mismatch, and OAuth redirect problems independently.
