Best practices for building Zoom apps and integrations

Hi everyone! I’m starting to explore developing apps and integrations for Zoom. I’m curious about:

  • Tips for optimizing Zoom SDK usage

  • Handling authentication and security for users

  • Best ways to manage API rate limits

  • Common pitfalls new developers face when building Zoom apps

I’d love to hear from experienced developers about what works well and any resources or strategies you recommend for building smooth, reliable integrations.

hi @Fin1 ,

Great to hear.
understanding the auth process is the best way to start.
’Raid’ the Zoom github and play with examples close to your use case.

You need Content security policy and SSL for your app. and to run on an external URL to I use NGROK.

Getting it working for the first time is the big challenge, because you will get no ‘feedback’ from Zoom till you have the connection.
After that, Zoom is quite good hinting why things fail, when they do…

All the best
