What it does

“Use when using Video SDK.”
The author's description, from SKILL.md

Generated summary from the skill's own text

This skill helps build custom video applications using Zoom's Video SDK across multiple platforms including web, mobile, and desktop. It guides users through product validation, app credential setup, platform selection, authentication, and core session features like joining, media control, screen sharing, and chat. The skill emphasizes server-side token generation and debugging strategies before implementing advanced capabilities.

When to use it

  • Building custom video experiences with app-owned user interface
  • Implementing video sessions without Zoom meeting infrastructure like hosts or waiting rooms
  • Developing across web, Android, iOS, Windows, Linux, or cross-platform frameworks
  • Need server-side session token generation for client applications

When not to

  • User requires standard Zoom meeting features like meeting numbers or host controls
  • Building integrations with existing Zoom meetings rather than custom video sessions

# Build Zoom Video SDK App

Use this skill when the user needs a custom video session rather than a real Zoom meeting. If the user needs meeting numbers, waiting rooms, hosts, or normal Zoom meeting controls, route to Meeting SDK.

## Workflow

1. Confirm product fit: Video SDK is for custom sessions with app-owned UX and lifecycle.
2. Create or verify the Video SDK Marketplace app and credential response shape.
3. Choose the target platform: web, Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, Linux, Flutter, React Native, Unity, or UI Toolkit.
4. Validate auth: generate Video SDK session tokens server-side and keep SDK credentials out of client code.
5. Implement join, media permissions, audio/video publish-subscribe, screen share, chat, and leave before advanced media features.
6. Add custom layouts, raw media, recording, live transcription, or storage integrations only after the session lifecycle is stable.
7. Debug by isolating token generation, SDK version, browser isolation, platform permissions, media device behavior, and entitlement limits.
