Question 1:
Can we able to publish Develop => Build App => General app (OAuth app) on the Zoom App Marketplace using a free Zoom developer account ?
Question 2:
If we have published an OAuth app on the Zoom App Marketplace using a free Zoom developer account.
If a customer with a paid Zoom plan (e.g., Pro, Business, or higher) authorizes our app, will the app be able to access all the features available in that user’s plan via the Zoom API?
Specifically, we’d like to confirm whether the app can:
Schedule or manage meetings longer than 40 minutes
Access cloud recordings
Use webinar-related APIs (if the user has the add-on)
Benefit from the higher rate limits associated with the user’s plan
Are there any restrictions or limitations in this scenario due to the app being published under a free developer account?
Yes, you can publish an app to the Zoom Marketplace using a free developer account. However, once you submit the app for review, you’ll either need to upgrade to a free account with credit card verification or fill out a quick form. If you don’t upgrade with a card, the app will be returned to you with a link to that form. The good news is you won’t need to pay anything or provide payment details it’s just a verification step.
As for your users: your app will work based on the privileges of the Zoom account it’s connected to. So, for example, if someone using your app has a Business plan, they’ll benefit from that (like meetings longer than 40 minutes). If they have Zoom Phone, they’ll have access to the relevant features.
You can definitely build and structure your app to work beyond the limitations of a free account. Just make sure to clearly outline any prerequisites in your documentation for instance, if users need a specific license or plan to use certain features.
