## What it does

This skill equips coding agents with reference material for the native Zoom Meeting SDK on macOS. It covers meeting lifecycle workflows, architecture guidelines, desktop feature controllers, and join or start patterns for hosts and attendees.

The skill links directly to official API docs and the `marketplacefront.zoom.us` reference. It also includes `RUNBOOK.md` for a five-minute preflight check and debugging routine.

Your integration requires valid environment variables and PKCE authentication parameters. If SDK authentication credentials are missing, meeting initialization will fail immediately.

## When to use it
- embed Zoom meetings into a macOS app using custom or default UI
- configure PKCE and SDK authentication workflows
- implement host start and participant join patterns
- troubleshoot connection failures with the 5-minute runbook

## Example prompts
