Access to Zoom RTMS C SDK Files

[ZaidwithSimform (Zaid)]

• Access to Zoom RTMS C SDK Files: We require the RTMS C SDK files to integrate with our Python FastAPI application.

• Auto-start Apps Configuration Issue: We are unable to add our application to “Auto-start apps that access shared realtime meeting content” in the Zoom Marketplace settings. We have followed the setup instructions from the official Zoom Developers YouTube channel, but the expected scopes and configuration options are not visible or accessible in our account dashboard.

• Allow apps to access meeting content: We can’t see “Allow apps to access meeting content” in In Meeting (Advanced) section currently

hi @ZaidwithSimform ,

Welcome to the community.

Always check the Zoom github pages
there are start and stop RTMS options if you do not auto start

GitHub - zoom/rtms-sdk-cpp: The C++ SDK for Realtime Media Streams also known...

Let us know if

Hi @expertswho,

Thank you for the welcome and for pointing me to the rtms-sdk-cpp repository!

I’ve reviewed the GitHub documentation you shared. Just to clarify my understanding: the rtms-sdk-cpp repository contains the C++ SDK documentation and examples, but the actual compiled library files (like librtmsdk.so for Linux or librtmsdk.dylib for macOS) need to be obtained directly from Zoom, correct?

I understand these library files should then be placed in the lib folder structure of the main rtms repository (e.g., lib/linux-x64/librtmsdk.so.0).

I also have two additional questions:

1. Access to RTMS C SDK Files: Could you guide me on the process to request access to these SDK library files from Zoom? Should I contact Zoom Developer Support directly, or is there a specific team/form for RTMS SDK access requests?
2. Auto-start Apps Configuration Issue: I’m still unable to add my application to “Auto-start apps that access shared realtime meeting content” in the Zoom Marketplace settings. The expected scopes and configuration options mentioned in the official Zoom Developers YouTube channel setup instructions are not visible in my account dashboard. Has anyone else experienced this issue, or are there specific account permissions required to access these settings?

Any guidance on these points would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks again for your help!

The rtms-sdk-cpp repository does contain the header files and the shared library file. Just make sure that you are checking the Releases page on that repository. GitHub doesn’t do a great job of sorting them so you’ll want to look for the latest dated release which is currently 12/16/2025

It sounds like RTMS is not yet enabled on your account. When it is enabled, you should see the meeting:read:meeting_audio scope along with the other scopes to access your data.

Your account has since been enabled with a trial of RTMS. I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
