AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

Zoom General serves as a strategic starting point for developers and architects to navigate the Zoom ecosystem. It provides a structured workflow to classify integration requirements, identify the correct Zoom product surface (such as APIs, SDKs, or webhooks), and determine the necessary authentication model. By guiding users through a decision-making process, it ensures that developers select the right tool for their specific use case before routing to more specialized skills.

What it does

Classifies integration jobs based on desired outcomes like embedding meetings or automating resources.
Maps requirements to specific Zoom surfaces including REST APIs, WebSockets, and various SDKs.
Provides guidance on selecting the correct authentication and scope model for an integration.
Facilitates routing to specialized skills once the product context is established.
Offers comparative context for tasks that span multiple Zoom product boundaries.

When to use it

When you are in the early stages of planning a Zoom integration and need to choose the right app type.
When you need to compare different Zoom surfaces to determine which fits your technical requirements.
When a task involves multiple Zoom products and requires a high-level architectural approach.
When you need to confirm the correct authentication flow for a specific integration scenario.

Advantages

Prevents premature selection of tools by enforcing a structured classification process.
Clarifies the distinction between user-level OAuth, account-level OAuth, and SDK signatures.
Reduces complexity by routing users to narrow, specialized skills after initial planning.
Provides a clear decision matrix for choosing between General Apps, Server-to-Server OAuth, and Webhook Only apps.

Usage examples

“I want to build an app that automates meeting reports. Which Zoom app type should I use?”: The agent will guide you to classify the job as backend automation, leading to the recommendation of Server-to-Server OAuth for its lack of user interaction requirements.
“Should I use the Meeting SDK or the Video SDK for my project?”: The agent will help you compare the two based on your specific embedding needs and surface requirements, ensuring you choose the correct SDK for your use case.

Documentation by Zoom

Use this skill for cross-product platform context after the user’s goal is understood. For first-step routing, prefer start, plan-zoom-product, or plan-zoom-integration.

Workflow

Classify the job by outcome: embed meetings, custom video, automate resources, consume events, process media, use meeting intelligence, or publish a Marketplace app.
Choose the Zoom surface that owns the behavior: REST API, webhooks, WebSockets, Meeting SDK, Video SDK, Zoom Apps SDK, Phone, Contact Center, Virtual Agent, Scribe, Rivet, or Cobrowse.
Confirm auth and scope model before implementation; Zoom surfaces differ on user-level OAuth, account-level OAuth, and SDK signatures.
Route to the narrow skill once the surface is chosen rather than keeping broad guidance in context.
Use the preserved guide only when a task crosses product boundaries or needs detailed comparison tables.

3. Handle Events

app.post('/webhook', (req, res) => {
  const { event, payload } = req.body;

  if (event.startsWith('qss.')) {
    // Process QSS data
    const { meeting_id, participant_id, metrics } = payload;

    // Send to your monitoring dashboard
    dashboard.ingest({
      meetingId: meeting_id,
      participantId: participant_id,
      bitrate: metrics.bitrate,
      latency: metrics.latency,
      jitter: metrics.jitter,
      packetLoss: metrics.packet_loss
    });
  }

  res.status(200).send();
});
