Critical Notes
- You still need native iOS/Android Meeting SDK dependencies configured.
joinMeetingandstartMeetingreturn numeric status/error codes from native layer.- For host start flow, pass
zoomAccessToken(ZAK). - Keep JWT generation on backend, never embed SDK secret in app.
- Current docs note React Native support up to
0.75.4; Expo is not supported.
