Challenges faced while implementing a feature on app

We are using an upsell feature on top of zoom to promote services of creators. Right now it has been implemented in the zoom web browser. But while trying to use this in mobile we are facing few challenges. Below we have briefed on the approaches I tried for mobile.

Approach 1

For android and ios, we would like to embed a button dynamically which when pressed would pop up a modal on top of zoom.

For this we either need to put a component on top of zoom, or need to access its layout and add a custom item to its menu.

but the current implementation actually opens up zoom in a different page altogether, giving us absolutely no control over it.

  • We tried embedding zoom into an existing page. Its docs are incomplete and apparently it only supports Android, and not iOS.

Approach 2

We tried to implement a custom layout to add an extra menu item so that the same can be triggered and we can open up a modal as a response.

But custom layout can only affect the appearance of certain components, and does not allow us to add new buttons on the menu bar itself. Hence this process is unusable.

Approach 3

We tried to create a zoom app, since zoom apps are web based applications, but turns out

  1. Its not supported in the web client (react)
  2. It might not be supported in the application as well

Is there any timeline as to when zoom apps would be supported in web clients and mobile apps?

Hi @software4 ,

Could you share if you are using web SDK for iOS and Android as well, or is it native app development using Android and iOS meeting SDK?

Could you elaborate what you refer to by embed, like iframe?
