Zoom Meeting Sdk Web

Zoom Meeting SDK (Web)

Embed Zoom meeting capabilities into web applications with two integration options: Client View (full-page) or Component View (embeddable).

How to Implement a Custom Video User Interface for a Zoom Meeting in a Web App

Use Meeting SDK Web Component View.

Do not use Video SDK for this question unless the user is explicitly building a non-meeting session product.

Minimal architecture:

Browser page
  -> fetch Meeting SDK signature from backend
  -> ZoomMtgEmbedded.createClient()
  -> client.init({ zoomAppRoot })
  -> client.join({ signature, sdkKey, meetingNumber, userName, password })
  -> apply layout/style/customize options around the embedded meeting container

Minimal implementation:

import ZoomMtgEmbedded from '@zoom/meetingsdk/embedded';

const client = ZoomMtgEmbedded.createClient();

export async function startEmbeddedMeeting(meetingNumber: string, userName: string, password: string) {
  const sigRes = await fetch('/api/signature', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify({ meetingNumber, role: 0 }),
  });

  if (!sigRes.ok) throw new Error(`signature_fetch_failed:${sigRes.status}`);

  const { signature, sdkKey } = await sigRes.json();

  await client.init({
    zoomAppRoot: document.getElementById('meetingSDKElement')!,
    language: 'en-US',
    patchJsMedia: true,
    leaveOnPageUnload: true,
    customize: {
      video: { isResizable: true, popper: { disableDraggable: false } },
    },
  });

  await client.join({
    signature,
    sdkKey,
    meetingNumber,
    userName,
    password,
  });
}

Common failure points:

• wrong route: Video SDK instead of Meeting SDK Component View
• missing backend signature endpoint
• wrong password field (password here, not passWord)
• missing OBF/ZAK requirements for meetings outside the app account
• missing SharedArrayBuffer headers when higher-end meeting features are expected

Hard Routing Rule

If the user wants a custom video user interface for a Zoom meeting in a web app, route to Component View, not Video SDK.

• Meeting SDK Component View = custom UI for a real Zoom meeting
• Video SDK Web = custom UI for a non-meeting video session product

For the direct custom-meeting-UI path, start with component-view/SKILL.md.

New to Web SDK? Start Here!

The fastest way to master the SDK:

1. Choose Your View - Client View vs Component View - Understand the key architectural differences
2. Quick Start - Client View or Component View - Get a working meeting in minutes
3. SharedArrayBuffer - concepts/sharedarraybuffer.md - Required for HD video, gallery view, virtual backgrounds
4. Optional preflight diagnostics - ../probe-sdk/SKILL.md - Validate browser/device/network before join

Building a Custom Integration?

• Component View gives you Promise-based API and embeddable UI
• Client View gives you the familiar full-page Zoom experience
• For a custom meeting UI, prefer Component View first
• Cross-product routing example: ../zoom-general/use-cases/custom-meeting-ui-web.md
• Browser Support - Feature matrix by browser
• Exact deep-dive path: component-view/SKILL.md

Having issues?

• Join errors → Check signature generation and password spelling (passWord vs password)
• HD video not working → Enable SharedArrayBuffer headers
• Complete navigation → SKILL.md

Prerequisites

• Zoom app with Meeting SDK credentials from Marketplace
• SDK Key (Client ID) and Secret
• Modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
• Backend auth endpoint for signature generation

Need help with authentication? See the zoom-oauth skill for JWT/signature generation.

Want pre-join diagnostics? Chain probe-sdk before init()/join() to gate low-readiness environments.

Optional Preflight Gate (Probe SDK)

For unstable first-join environments, run Probe SDK checks before calling ZoomMtg.init() or client.join():

1. Run Probe permissions/device/network diagnostics.
2. Apply readiness policy (allow, warn, block).
3. Continue to Meeting SDK join only for allow/approved warn.

See ../probe-sdk/SKILL.md and ../zoom-general/use-cases/probe-sdk-preflight-readiness-gate.md.

Client View vs Component View

CRITICAL DIFFERENCE: These are two completely different APIs with different patterns!

When to Use Which

Use Client View when:

• You want the familiar Zoom meeting interface
• Quick integration is priority over customization
• Full-page meeting experience is acceptable

Use Component View when:

• You need to embed meetings in a specific area of your page
• Building React/Vue/Angular applications
• You want Promise-based async/await syntax
• Custom positioning and resizing is required

Installation

NPM (Recommended)

npm install @zoom/meetingsdk --save

Replace {VERSION} with the latest version (e.g., 6.2.0).

Quick Start (Client View)

import { ZoomMtg } from '@zoom/meetingsdk';

// Step 1: Check browser compatibility
console.log('System requirements:', ZoomMtg.checkSystemRequirements());

// Step 2: Preload WebAssembly for faster initialization
ZoomMtg.preLoadWasm();
ZoomMtg.prepareWebSDK();

// Step 3: Load language files (MUST complete before init)
ZoomMtg.i18n.load('en-US');
ZoomMtg.i18n.onLoad(() => {

  // Step 4: Initialize SDK
  ZoomMtg.init({
    leaveUrl: 'https://yoursite.com/meeting-ended',
    disableCORP: !window.crossOriginIsolated, // Auto-detect SharedArrayBuffer
    patchJsMedia: true,           // Auto-apply media dependency fixes
    leaveOnPageUnload: true,      // Clean up when page unloads
    externalLinkPage: './external.html', // Page for external links
    success: () => {

      // Step 5: Join meeting (note: passWord with capital W!)
      ZoomMtg.join({
        signature: signature,       // From your auth endpoint
        meetingNumber: '1234567890',
        userName: 'User Name',
        passWord: 'meeting-password', // Capital W!
        success: (res) => {
          console.log('Joined meeting:', res);

          // Post-join: Get meeting info
          ZoomMtg.getAttendeeslist({});
          ZoomMtg.getCurrentUser({
            success: (res) => console.log('Current user:', res.result.currentUser)
          });
        },
        error: (err) => {
          console.error('Join error:', err);
        }
      });
    },
    error: (err) => {
      console.error('Init error:', err);
    }
  });
});

Quick Start (Component View)

import ZoomMtgEmbedded from '@zoom/meetingsdk/embedded';

// Create client instance (do this ONCE, not on every render!)
const client = ZoomMtgEmbedded.createClient();

async function startMeeting() {
  try {
    // Initialize with container element
    await client.init({
      zoomAppRoot: document.getElementById('meetingSDKElement'),
      language: 'en-US',
      debug: true,                  // Enable debug logging
      patchJsMedia: true,           // Auto-apply media fixes
      leaveOnPageUnload: true,      // Clean up on page unload
    });

    // Join meeting (note: password lowercase!)
    await client.join({
      signature: signature,          // From your auth endpoint
      sdkKey: SDK_KEY,
      meetingNumber: '1234567890',
      userName: 'User Name',
      password: 'meeting-password',  // Lowercase!
    });

    console.log('Joined successfully!');
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Failed to join:', error);
  }
}

Authentication Endpoint (Required)

Both views require a JWT signature from a backend server. Never expose your SDK Secret in frontend code!

# Clone Zoom's official auth endpoint
git clone https://github.com/zoom/meetingsdk-auth-endpoint-sample --depth 1
cd meetingsdk-auth-endpoint-sample
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your SDK Key and Secret
npm install && npm run start

Signature Generation

The signature encodes:

• sdkKey (or clientId for newer apps)
• meetingNumber
• role (0 = participant, 1 = host)
• iat (issued at timestamp)
• exp (expiration timestamp)
• tokenExp (token expiration)

IMPORTANT (March 2026): Apps joining meetings outside their account will require an App Privilege Token (OBF) or ZAK token. See Authorization Requirements.

SharedArrayBuffer (CRITICAL for HD)

SharedArrayBuffer enables advanced features:

• 720p/1080p video
• Gallery view
• Virtual backgrounds
• Background noise suppression

Enable with HTTP Headers

Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy: same-origin
Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy: require-corp

Verify in Browser

if (typeof SharedArrayBuffer === 'function') {
  console.log('SharedArrayBuffer enabled!');
} else {
  console.warn('HD features will be limited');
}

// Or check cross-origin isolation
console.log('Cross-origin isolated:', window.crossOriginIsolated);

Platform-Specific Setup

See concepts/sharedarraybuffer.md for:

• Vercel, Netlify, AWS CloudFront configuration
• nginx/Apache configuration
• Service worker fallback for GitHub Pages

Development Setup (Two-Server Pattern)

The official samples use a two-server pattern for development because COOP/COEP headers can break navigation:

// Server 1: Main app (port 9999) - NO isolation headers
// Serves index.html, navigation works normally

// Server 2: Meeting page (port 9998) - WITH isolation headers
// Serves meeting.html with SharedArrayBuffer support

// Main server proxies to meeting server
proxy: [{
  path: '/meeting.html',
  target: 'http://YOUR_MEETING_SERVER_HOST:9998/'
}]

Vite config with headers:

// vite.config.ts
export default defineConfig({
  server: {
    headers: {
      'Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy': 'require-corp',
      'Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy': 'same-origin',
    }
  }
});

Authorization Requirements (2026 Update)

IMPORTANT: Beginning March 2, 2026, apps joining meetings outside their account must be authorized.

Options

1. App Privilege Token (OBF) - Recommended for bots

   ZoomMtg.join({
     ...
     obfToken: 'your-app-privilege-token'
   });
   

2. ZAK Token - For host operations

   ZoomMtg.join({
     ...
     zak: 'host-zak-token'
   });
   

Zoom for Government (ZFG)

Option 1: ZFG-specific NPM Package

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@zoom/meetingsdk": "3.11.2-zfg"
  }
}

Option 2: Configure ZFG Endpoints

Client View:

ZoomMtg.setZoomJSLib('https://source.zoomgov.com/{VERSION}/lib', '/av');
ZoomMtg.init({
  webEndpoint: 'www.zoomgov.com',
  ...
});

Component View:

await client.init({
  webEndpoint: 'www.zoomgov.com',
  assetPath: 'https://source.zoomgov.com/{VERSION}/lib/av',
  ...
});

China CDN

// Set before preLoadWasm()
ZoomMtg.setZoomJSLib('https://jssdk.zoomus.cn/{VERSION}/lib', '/av');

React Integration

Official Pattern (from zoom/meetingsdk-react-sample)

The official React sample uses imperative initialization rather than React hooks:

import { ZoomMtg } from '@zoom/meetingsdk';

// Preload at module level (outside component)
ZoomMtg.preLoadWasm();
ZoomMtg.prepareWebSDK();

function App() {
  const authEndpoint = import.meta.env.VITE_AUTH_ENDPOINT;
  const meetingNumber = '';
  const passWord = '';
  const role = 0;
  const userName = 'React User';

  const getSignature = async () => {
    const response = await fetch(authEndpoint, {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
      body: JSON.stringify({
        meetingNumber,
        role,
      }),
    });
    const data = await response.json();
    startMeeting(data.signature);
  };

  const startMeeting = (signature: string) => {
    document.getElementById('zmmtg-root')!.style.display = 'block';

    ZoomMtg.init({
      leaveUrl: window.location.origin,
      patchJsMedia: true,
      leaveOnPageUnload: true,
      success: () => {
        ZoomMtg.join({
          signature,
          meetingNumber,
          userName,
          passWord,
          success: (res) => console.log('Joined:', res),
          error: (err) => console.error('Join error:', err),
        });
      },
      error: (err) => console.error('Init error:', err),
    });
  };

  return (
    <button Meeting</button>
  );
}

Helper Utilities

Extract Meeting Number from Invite Link

// Users can paste full Zoom invite links
document.getElementById('meeting_number').addEventListener('input', (e) => {
  // Extract meeting number (9-11 digits)
  let meetingNumber = e.target.value.replace(/([^0-9])+/i, '');
  if (meetingNumber.match(/([0-9]{9,11})/)) {
    meetingNumber = meetingNumber.match(/([0-9]{9,11})/)[1];
  }

  // Auto-extract password from invite link
  const pwdMatch = e.target.value.match(/pwd=([\d,\w]+)/);
  if (pwdMatch) {
    document.getElementById('password').value = pwdMatch[1];
  }
});

Dynamic Language Switching

// Change language at runtime
document.getElementById('language').addEventListener('change', (e) => {
  const lang = e.target.value;
  ZoomMtg.i18n.load(lang);
  ZoomMtg.i18n.reload(lang);
  ZoomMtg.reRender({ lang });
});

Check System Requirements

// Check browser compatibility before initializing
const requirements = ZoomMtg.checkSystemRequirements();
console.log('Browser info:', JSON.stringify(requirements));

if (!requirements.browserInfo.isChrome && !requirements.browserInfo.isFirefox) {
  alert('For best experience, use Chrome or Firefox');
}

Key Gotchas

1. Password spelling differs between views!

   • Client View: passWord (capital W)
   • Component View: password (lowercase)

2. SharedArrayBuffer required for HD features

   • 720p/1080p video
   • Gallery view (25 videos)
   • Virtual backgrounds

3. March 2026 Authorization Change

   • Apps joining external meetings need OBF or ZAK tokens
