Audio Sharing Support via Zoom Web SDK

Meeting SDK Web
1

I’m using the Zoom Web Meeting SDK v3.1.0 inside a web page that’s loaded in a WebView within an Expo React app (for both iOS and Android).

I would like to confirm the following regarding audio sharing and original sound support:

  1. When accessing a meeting via mobile (iOS/Android) through a WebView, can the host share audio (either microphone or system audio) using the Web SDK?

  2. If not, could you clarify whether audio sharing is supported on mobile browsers or WebViews, and if there are any known workarounds or limitations?

  3. Does the Web SDK currently support enabling “Original Sound” / high-fidelity audio mode similar to the Zoom desktop client?

    • Our use case involves a fitness application, where during session breaks, we play background music for participants.

    • Hence, we need to ensure that music playback quality remains clear and is not distorted by noise suppression or compression.

Browser Console Error

No specific error. This is a clarification regarding feature support and SDK behavior.

Which Web Meeting SDK version?

v3.1.0

To Reproduce

  1. Launch the React web page containing the Web SDK inside a WebView (Expo React Native app).

  2. Join a meeting as a host on a mobile device.

  3. Attempt to share audio or enable “Original Sound.”

  4. Observe that the feature may not function as expected or is unavailable.

Troubleshooting Routes

  • Tested across multiple mobile devices and browsers (Chrome, Safari).

  • Checked SDK changelog and documentation for audio-sharing features.

  • Verified media permissions and audio input/output behavior within WebView.

  • Compared behavior with desktop Web SDK and Zoom client.

Device (please complete the following information):

  • Device: iPhone 14 / Pixel 7

  • OS: iOS 17 / Android 14

  • Browser: In-app WebView (Expo React Native)

  • Browser Engine: SafariViewController (iOS) / Chrome WebView (Android)

Additional Context

We’re developing a fitness and wellness application using the Zoom Web SDK for live video sessions. During class breaks, instructors need to play music clearly to participants, so maintaining high-fidelity audio is crucial.

Please confirm:

  • Whether audio sharing is supported for hosts in mobile WebView environments.

  • Whether Original Sound can be enabled via Web SDK, or if there’s a recommended workaround for music playback in this context.
