Create meeting and share control for a specific desktop app

[mihairaulea (Mihai)]

Description

Here are the steps we go through:

1. user A creates a room
2. user B joins the room
3. user A needs to share control of a specific desktop app - intellij IDE

Error

What function do we need to call in zoom web SDK to request remote control for a specific desktop app? user B should request remote control for a specific desktop app - IntelliJ IDE.

Which version?
v1.7.6

Hey @mihairaulea,

Here is the functionality of the Web SDK remote control feature:

Query for Web SDK Integration with Angular 7

Hey @gourav, I figured it out. You can control someones screen with the Web SDK, if the person sharing their screen is using the Zoom Client (native app). [Screen Shot 2019-12-06 at 10.44.10 AM] Here are the combinations: Web SDK to Web SDK = Can’t control either screen Web SDK to Zoom Client App = Can control the Zoom Client App screen Zoom Client App to Web SDK = Can’t control Web SDK screen Zoom Client App to Zoom Client App = Can control either screen Thanks, Tommy

Thanks,
Tommy

Thanks for your answer! How about using the native SDK? Do you have a Java SDK that’s compatible with all operating systems?

Alternatively, it would be great to create the room via API and then have a hyperlink that requests either opening Zoom or installing it if it’s not present

Feel free to ask this in our #mobile-sdk and #desktop-sdk categories so the respective engineer can help.

You can do this via the Create Meeting API, which returns a start_url. The start_url will open the Zoom app, or prompt the user to download it, or join via the Web Client.

Thanks,
