New to Zoom development – so please bear with me if these are straightforward.
We are beginning to think about creating a Zoom app – before we move ahead with it, I wanted to see if the following APIs were available to Zoom developers:
Determine if participant’s camera is on/off
Determine if and when a participant raises a blue hand, uses the green check, or uses the red no
Determine how long a participant speaks for
Determine if a participant responded to a poll and what result they input
Good questions, and welcome to our developer community! Happy to clarify.
Determine if participant’s camera is on/off
We don’t have an endpoint specifically for this—our APIs are generally for pre- and post-meeting queries, not for real-time information. However, you can query a user’s settings to see if they have video enabled by default. This is accessible via this endpoint: https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/users/usersettings
Determine if and when a participant raises a blue hand, uses the green check, or uses the red no
This information is not accessible via API.
Determine how long a participant speaks for
While this is a great suggestion, this is not available via API at the moment. You can track when a participant joins/leaves, total time spent speaking would be a feature request. If you’re so inclined, you might consider adding a +1 to this feature request here.
