# Pp Zoom > The first Zoom CLI that joins your local desktop app, your on-disk recordings, and your cloud account into one... Trigger phrases: `join the zoom meeting`, `start my zoom`, `mute zoom`, `what zoom meetings do i have today`, `find that quote from last week's zoom`, `what's in my documents/zoom folder`, `schedule a zoom meeting`, `search my zoom recordings`, `use zoom`, `run zoom`, `extract todos from my zoom notes`, `search my zoom notes`, `ingest zoom notes pdf`, `open zoom notes`. - Skill: `mvanhorn-printing-press-libra/pp-zoom` (Agent Skill) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds add mvanhorn-printing-press-libra/pp-zoom` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/mvanhorn-printing-press-libra/pp-zoom/raw - Safety review: pending - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: DevOps & Infra - License: Apache-2.0 - Author: mvanhorn (https://skillmd.com/u/mvanhorn-printing-press-libra) - Updated: 2026-09-09 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/mvanhorn-printing-press-libra/pp-zoom --- # Zoom — Printing Press CLI ## Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the `zoom-pp-cli` binary. **You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill.** If it is missing, install it first: 1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to `$HOME/.local/bin` on macOS/Linux and `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin` on Windows: ```bash npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install zoom --cli-only ``` 2. Verify: `zoom-pp-cli --version` 3. Ensure the reported install directory is on `$PATH` for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill. If the `npx` install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer): ```bash go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/productivity/zoom/cmd/zoom-pp-cli@latest ``` If `--version` reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on `$PATH`. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds. ## When to Use This CLI Use this CLI when an agent needs to reach across the user's Zoom surface holistically — joining the right meeting now, surfacing what's on the calendar today, finding what was said in a past meeting, or managing the cloud account. Particularly powerful when local desktop recordings and cloud-recorded meetings need to be queried together. Not the right pick for embedding live Zoom video into a custom app (use the Meeting SDK) or for hosting bot participants (use Recall.ai or the Meeting SDK). ## Unique Capabilities These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API. ### Local state that compounds - **`find`** — Search every locally-recorded and cloud-recorded Zoom transcript at once, with speaker filter, context windows, and a clickable deep link back to the exact second. _When you need to recover a specific commitment or decision from a meeting, you don't know in advance whether it was recorded locally or to the cloud. One search box._ ```bash zoom-pp-cli find "q2 pricing" --source both --speaker "Maya" --after 30 --json ``` - **`storage`** — Group everything under ~/Documents/Zoom/ by month, topic, or partial-conversion status; cross-check against the cloud recordings list to flag duplicates safe to delete locally. _When the Documents folder is the biggest thing on the laptop, agents need to surface which gigabytes are safely reclaimable._ ```bash zoom-pp-cli storage --by month --also-in-cloud --json ``` - **`recordings drift`** — Set-difference between local and cloud recordings; flags cloud recordings approaching the org retention deadline and local double_click_to_convert partials whose cloud version is already complete. _Cloud retention silently deletes recordings. Local partials silently fail. The agent needs to surface both before they bite._ ```bash zoom-pp-cli recordings drift --retention-days 90 --json ``` - **`recordings analyze`** — Per-speaker total talk-seconds, longest monologue, and cue-overlap interruption count, computed from VTT cue timestamps and speaker labels. _When the agent is asked 'who dominated the meeting' or 'did everyone get a chance to speak,' it needs the answer without an LLM transcription pass._ ```bash zoom-pp-cli recordings analyze meeting-2026-05-12-1400 --json --select per_speaker.name,per_speaker.talk_seconds,per_speaker.longest_monologue_sec ``` ### Agent-native composition - **`today`** — One screen: every meeting on your calendar today, every saved bookmark scheduled for today, every recording made today, and any overlapping intervals flagged as conflicts. _When the agent is asked 'what's on my plate today and is anything double-booked,' it needs the answer in one call._ ```bash zoom-pp-cli today --with-recordings --json --select topic,start_time,join_url,conflict_with ``` - **`saved add-from-url`** — Paste any Zoom URL shape (https://zoom.us/j/?pwd=, zoommtg://, calendar-invite formats) and the CLI extracts ID + unencrypted password into a named saved bookmark in one step. _URLs land in Slack/email constantly. Closing the parse-it-yourself gap turns 'save this for later' into one command._ ```bash zoom-pp-cli saved add-from-url team-standup "https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85123456789?pwd=abc" --json ``` ### Cross-source round-trips - **`schedule`** — Create a cloud meeting (POST /users/me/meetings) and immediately persist the resulting ID + password into local saved_meetings, so future `zoom saved join ` works offline. _Scheduling and joining are usually two separate tools. Pairing them lets agents create-then-recall meetings without re-querying the cloud._ ```bash zoom-pp-cli schedule "Q3 Planning" --when "2026-08-12T14:00:00Z" --duration 60 --save-as q3-planning --json ``` - **`recordings export`** — Resolve a recording ID against local first, fall back to cloud (downloading if needed); package mp4 + vtt + chat.txt + a generated INDEX.md with timestamped table of contents into one folder. _When the agent is asked to 'pull together everything we have on Tuesday's planning call,' it needs one verb that doesn't care whether the source is local or cloud._ ```bash zoom-pp-cli recordings export meeting-2026-05-12-1400 --with-transcript --with-chat --out ~/Drive/q2-planning --json ``` ### My Notes integration - **`notes web`** — Open https://zoom.us/notes (optionally scoped to a meeting) in the user's default browser — the only path to the live Notes UI since Zoom has no public REST endpoint for the My Notes feature. _When an agent needs to send the user to their notes, this is the single command that always works regardless of auth state._ ```bash zoom-pp-cli notes web --json --dry-run ``` - **`notes summary`** — Fetches Zoom AI Companion's auto-generated meeting summary for a meeting UUID via the documented `/meetings/{uuid}/meeting_summary` endpoint (S2S OAuth gated). _When an agent needs the canonical post-meeting recap without manually exporting a PDF._ ```bash zoom-pp-cli notes summary abc123== --json --select summary_title,summary_overview,summary_details ``` - **`notes transcript`** — Fetches the AI Companion full transcript for a meeting UUID via the documented `/meetings/{uuid}/transcript` endpoint (S2S OAuth gated). _Agents that need to verify a summary or quote can pull verbatim transcript without opening the web portal._ ```bash zoom-pp-cli notes transcript abc123== --json ``` - **`notes ingest`** — Parses a Notes PDF or DOCX exported from the Zoom web portal, extracts text + meeting metadata + headings, indexes them in a local SQLite `notes` table (FTS5 enabled). _Lets agents build a searchable, persistent corpus of the user's meeting notes from manual exports._ ```bash zoom-pp-cli notes ingest ~/Downloads/zoom-notes-2026-05-12.pdf --json --select meeting_topic,note_count,word_count ``` - **`notes search`** — FTS5 query across every Notes file that has been ingested, returns `meeting_topic + note_excerpt + source_file + match_offset` with optional `--since` / `--meeting-id` filters. _Agents asked 'what did I write down about X' can answer instantly from the ingested corpus._ ```bash zoom-pp-cli notes search "q2 launch plan" --since 30d --json --select meeting_topic,start_time,note_excerpt,source_file ``` - **`notes todos`** — Scans ingested notes for action-item patterns (`TODO:`, `Action:`, `[ ]`, `- [ ]`, `Action Item:`, `Next:`, `Follow up:`, `Owner:`) and emits a structured to-do list with source meeting topic + date + checkbox state. _Turns the My Notes archive into a queryable backlog — the killer feature for agents that need to surface 'what do I still owe people from last week's meetings.'_ ```bash zoom-pp-cli notes todos --since 7d --json --select text,meeting_topic,start_time,owner,checked ``` ## Command Reference **accounts** — Account operations - `zoom-pp-cli accounts account` — Retrieve a sub account under the master account.
