## What it does

This skill provides instructions for Zoom Video SDK on Android. It covers session lifecycle handling and token-based joins.

The bundled guides explain architecture workflows and environment variables. For quick diagnostics, developers can rely on `RUNBOOK.md` to catch common integration errors.

Custom video interfaces will fail to connect if session token generation is misconfigured.

## When to use it
- integrate Zoom Video SDK sessions using token authorization
- build custom video interfaces without default Zoom UI elements
- track real-time participant state changes using event listeners
- run preflight verification and debug issues using `RUNBOOK.md`
