Hi I am developing a case where my Android app wants to call the Zoom Android client directly. Till now I am able to create a workaround by creating a meeting first and then send a message to other user. Is there a way to make a call directly another user. If yes, can you please link me to the working sample or API? ---

Hi @aman.talwar, thanks for using the dev forum. Unfortunately the Meeting SDK does not support directly calling contacts. The workaround of creating a meeting and messaging the user will be the closest you can get to the Zoom client’s functionality. Thanks! ---
