npx skills add openai/plugins --skill ios -a codexWhat zoom-video-sdk-ios does
This skill guides work on custom video sessions for native iOS apps. It covers token-based session authentication and event-driven handling of media and participants. Use it when the app needs control over its session UI rather than a standard Zoom interface.
The included material covers session lifecycle, architecture, a join pattern, high-level scenarios, and an iOS reference map. It also points to environment variable guidance, version compatibility, and troubleshooting. RUNBOOK.md provides a preflight and debugging checklist.
You’ll need an iOS development setup and the Zoom Video SDK. Check the compatibility and environment guidance against your project; token authentication and session lifecycle are central to the flows this skill describes.
What it helps with
- design a session join flow for an iOS app
- handle participant and media events
- trace the lifecycle of a video session
- check SDK version compatibility
Example prompts for the agent
- Help me add a Zoom Video SDK session to my iOS app with token-based authentication.
- Explain the session lifecycle and suggest a join flow for this app.
- Review how my iOS session handles participant and media events.
