Zoom Apps SDK

Use this skill when the app runs inside the Zoom client. If the user only needs to embed a meeting in an external app, route to Meeting SDK instead.

Workflow

1. Confirm the running context: meeting, webinar, main client, phone, collaborate mode, immersive mode, camera mode, or Layers API.
2. Configure Marketplace app settings, allowed domains, redirect URIs, and in-client OAuth before implementing SDK calls.
3. Initialize zoomSdk and gate features by capability and running context.
4. Design client communication and data flow: frontend SDK calls, backend REST calls, in-client OAuth tokens, and webhook handoff.
5. Implement advanced client features only after the base app loads reliably: Layers API, breakout rooms, guest mode, collaborate mode, or ZMail.
6. Debug blank panels, domain allowlist issues, CSP, missing capabilities, running-context mismatch, and OAuth redirect problems independently.
