What zoom-video-sdk-macos does

The skill maps out the Zoom Video SDK documentation for macOS. It points the agent at macos.md, breakdowns of the session lifecycle and architecture, a session-join pattern, a set of scenarios, and a reference for environment variables. There is also RUNBOOK.md with a five-minute preflight and a debugging checklist.

Joining a session is tokenized, and the UI is yours to build — the SDK does not draw windows or panels for you. That makes the skill useful when you need custom controls over the media stream and your own handling of camera, microphone and screen share on desktop.

For Claude the install is a single npx skills add command, and the skill file lands at .agents/skills/macos/SKILL.md. If your project pins a specific SDK version, start with references/versioning-and-compatibility.md: a mismatch between SDK and client versions is the first thing that breaks a join.

What it helps with

build a native macOS app with a Zoom video session
join a user to a session with a token
walk through the session lifecycle step by step
wire up camera, microphone and screen share on desktop
track down an SDK and client version mismatch
