Zoom Meeting SDK
Embed the full Zoom meeting experience into web, mobile, desktop, and headless integrations.
Current Release Snapshot
Verified from the public changelog on 2026-07-10:
| Platform family | Current release |
|---|
| Android, Electron, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows | 7.1.0 |
| React Native | 7.0.5 |
| Web | 6.2.0 |
| Unreal wrapper | 1.1.0 (wraps Meeting SDK 6.1.5) |
Native 7.1.0 adds I420 Limited/Full support, face-region ROI in raw video, on-demand avatar
download, and platform-specific breakout-room additions. It includes breaking changes on several
native platforms, so diff the downloaded headers/wrappers before copying examples from older
package snapshots in this repository.
Hard Routing Guardrail (Read First)
- If the user asks to embed/join meetings inside their app UI, route to Meeting SDK implementation.
- Do not switch to REST-only meeting link flow unless the user explicitly asks for meeting resource management or browser
join_url links.
- Meeting SDK join path requires SDK signature + SDK join call; REST
join_url is not a Meeting SDK join payload.
Prerequisites
- Zoom app with Meeting SDK credentials
- Client ID and Client Secret from Marketplace; legacy SDK Key/Secret migration was enforced on
June 27, 2026
- Platform-specific development environment (Web, Android, iOS, macOS, Unreal, Electron, Linux, or Windows)
Need to create the SDK app first? Use
Marketplace app management for app creation,
manifest validation, app-type quirks, and credential response shapes before generating
Meeting SDK signatures. Start from the
Meeting SDK create template.
Need help with OAuth or signatures? See the zoom-oauth skill for authentication flows.
Need pre-join diagnostics on web? Use probe-sdk before Meeting SDK init/join to gate low-readiness devices/networks.
Start troubleshooting fast: Use the 5-Minute Runbook before deep debugging.
Quick Start (Web - Client View via CDN)
<script src="https://source.zoom.us/6.2.0/lib/vendor/react.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://source.zoom.us/6.2.0/lib/vendor/react-dom.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://source.zoom.us/6.2.0/lib/vendor/redux.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://source.zoom.us/6.2.0/lib/vendor/redux-thunk.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://source.zoom.us/6.2.0/lib/vendor/lodash.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://source.zoom.us/6.2.0/zoom-meeting-6.2.0.min.js"></script>
<script>
ZoomMtg.preLoadWasm();
ZoomMtg.prepareWebSDK();
ZoomMtg.init({
leaveUrl: window.location.href,
patchJsMedia: true,
disableCORP: !window.crossOriginIsolated,
success: function() {
ZoomMtg.join({
signature: 'YOUR_SIGNATURE',
meetingNumber: 'MEETING_NUMBER',
userName: 'User Name',
passWord: '',
success: function(res) { console.log('Joined'); },
error: function(err) { console.error(err); }
});
},
error: function(err) { console.error(err); }
});
</script>
Critical Notes (Web)
1. CDN vs npm - Different APIs!
| Distribution | Global Object | View Type | API Style |
|---|
CDN (zoom-meeting-{ver}.min.js) | ZoomMtg | Client View (full-page) | Callbacks |
npm (@zoom/meetingsdk) | ZoomMtgEmbedded | Component View (embeddable) | Promises |
2. Backend Required for Production
Never expose the Client Secret in client code. Generate signatures server-side:
const KJUR = require('jsrsasign');
app.post('/api/signature', (req, res) => {
const { meetingNumber, role } = req.body;
const iat = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) - 30;
const exp = iat + 60 * 60 * 2;
const header = { alg: 'HS256', typ: 'JWT' };
const payload = {
appKey: process.env.ZOOM_CLIENT_ID,
mn: String(meetingNumber).replace(/\D/g, ''),
role: parseInt(role, 10),
iat, exp, tokenExp: exp
};
const signature = KJUR.jws.JWS.sign('HS256',
JSON.stringify(header),
JSON.stringify(payload),
process.env.ZOOM_CLIENT_SECRET
);
res.json({ signature });
});
3. CSS Conflicts - Avoid Global Resets
Global * { margin: 0; } breaks Zoom's UI. Scope your styles:
* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
.your-app, .your-app * { box-sizing: border-box; }
4. Client View Toolbar Cropping Fix
If toolbar falls off screen, scale down the Zoom UI:
#zmmtg-root {
position: fixed !important;
top: 0 !important;
left: 0 !important;
right: 0 !important;
bottom: 0 !important;
width: 100vw !important;
height: 100vh !important;
z-index: 9999 !important;
transform: scale(0.95) !important;
transform-origin: top center !important;
}
5. Hide Your App When Meeting Starts
Client View takes over full page. Hide your UI:
document.documentElement.classList.add('meeting-active');
document.body.classList.add('meeting-active');
body.meeting-active .your-app { display: none !important; }
body.meeting-active { background: #000 !important; }
UI Options (Web)
Meeting SDK provides Zoom's UI with customization options:
| View | Description |
|---|
| Component View | Extractable, customizable UI - embed meeting in a div |
| Client View | Full-page Zoom UI experience |
Note: Unlike Video SDK where you build the UI from scratch, Meeting SDK uses Zoom's UI as the base with customization on top.
Key Concepts
| Concept | Description |
|---|
| Client ID/Secret | Current Meeting SDK credentials from Marketplace |
| Signature | JWT with appKey signed using the Client Secret |
| Component View | Extractable, customizable UI (Web) |
| Client View | Full-page Zoom UI (Web) |
