AutoGineer summary
Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author
The Zoom Meeting SDK for Web allows developers to embed Zoom meeting functionality directly into web applications. It provides two primary integration paths: Client View, which offers the familiar full-page Zoom interface, and Component View, which provides a flexible, embeddable, and Promise-based API for custom layouts. The SDK supports advanced features like HD video, gallery view, and virtual backgrounds, which require specific browser configurations such as SharedArrayBuffer headers.
What it does
- Embeds full-page Zoom meetings via Client View.
- Provides an embeddable, Promise-based interface via Component View.
- Supports HD video, gallery view, and virtual backgrounds.
- Enables custom UI layouts and toolbar button additions.
- Offers event listeners for meeting status, user activity, and media changes.
- Supports Zoom for Government (ZFG) configurations.
When to use it
- When you need to integrate Zoom meetings into a web application.
- When you require a custom UI layout for a meeting (use Component View).
- When you want the standard, full-page Zoom experience (use Client View).
- When building React, Vue, or Angular applications requiring Promise-based control.
- When advanced media features like HD video or virtual backgrounds are required.
Advantages
- Flexible integration options to suit different UX requirements.
- Promise-based API in Component View simplifies asynchronous operations.
- Official support for modern web frameworks.
- Comprehensive event system for monitoring meeting state and user actions.
- Configurable UI elements for branding and layout control.
Usage examples
- “How do I embed a Zoom meeting in my React app?”
- Use the Component View by importing @zoom/meetingsdk/embedded, creating a client instance, and calling init() and join() within your component lifecycle.
- “Why is my HD video not working in the web SDK?”
- Ensure your server is configured with Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy: same-origin and Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy: require-corp headers to enable SharedArrayBuffer.
- “What is the difference between Client View and Component View?”
- Client View is a full-page takeover using global singletons and callbacks, while Component View is embeddable, uses instance-based clients, and supports Promise-based syntax.

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 containerMinimal 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 (
passwordhere, notpassWord)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:
Choose Your View - Client View vs Component View - Understand the key architectural differences
Quick Start - Client View or Component View - Get a working meeting in minutes
SharedArrayBuffer - concepts/sharedarraybuffer.md - Required for HD video, gallery view, virtual backgrounds
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: ../../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 (

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():
Run Probe permissions/device/network diagnostics.
Apply readiness policy (
allow,warn,block).Continue to Meeting SDK join only for
allow/approvedwarn.
See ../../probe-sdk/SKILL.md and ../../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!
| Aspect | Client View | Component View |
|---|---|---|
| Object | ZoomMtg (global singleton) | ZoomMtgEmbedded.createClient() (instance) |
| API Style | Callbacks | Promises |
| UI | Full-page takeover | Embeddable in any container |
| Password param | passWord (capital W) | password (lowercase) |
| Events | inMeetingServiceListener() | on()/off() |
| Import (npm) | import { ZoomMtg } from '@zoom/meetingsdk' | import ZoomMtgEmbedded from '@zoom/meetingsdk/embedded' |
| CDN | zoom-meeting-{VERSION}.min.js | zoom-meeting-embedded-{VERSION}.min.js |
| Best For | Quick integration, standard Zoom UI | Custom layouts, React/Vue apps |
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 --saveCDN

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 startSignature Generation
The signature encodes:
sdkKey(orclientIdfor newer apps)meetingNumberrole(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 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-corpVerify 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',
}
}
});Common Issues & Solutions
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Join fails with signature error | Verify signature generation, check sdkKey format |
| "passWord" typo | Client View uses passWord (capital W), Component View uses password |
| No HD video | Enable SharedArrayBuffer headers, check browser support |
| Callbacks not firing | Ensure inMeetingServiceListener called after init success |
| Virtual background not working | Requires SharedArrayBuffer + Chrome/Edge |
| Screen share fails on Safari | Safari 17+ with macOS 14+ required for client view |

Authorization Requirements (2026 Update)
IMPORTANT: Beginning March 2, 2026, apps joining meetings outside their account must be authorized.
Options
App Privilege Token (OBF) - Recommended for bots
ZoomMtg.join({ ... obfToken: 'your-app-privilege-token' });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 onClick={getSignature}>Join Meeting</button>
);
}React Gotchas (from official samples)
| Issue | Problem | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Client Recreation | createClient() in component body runs every render | Use useRef to persist client |
| No useEffect | Official sample doesn't use React lifecycle hooks | SDK's leaveOnPageUnload handles cleanup |
| Direct DOM | Sample uses getElementById | Use useRef<HTMLDivElement> in production |
| No Error State | Silent failures | Add useState for error handling |
| Module-Scope Side Effects | preLoadWasm() at top level | May cause issues with SSR |
