I am look at the Mac and iOS SDKs and do not see a way to feed my own video into it. I would like to be able to feed a video buffer to feed the user “camera”. This would be useful if I wanted to grab a video from a video capture device process it in Metal, then hand it to Zoom. Or I could grab an NDI feed and pass it to Zoom. Is this feature there, and I am missing it in the docs? If not, I guess this is a feature request.

Hi lucas,

Thanks for the post and thanks for the amazing ideas for using Zoom service. Unfortunately, we do not provide or receive raw audio/video data at the moment. I will forward your request to our engineers. Please follow our Github repos for any updates. I will also let you know once we support these features.

Thanks!

Another way I would use this it to be able to use a 360 or fish eye as a PTZ.
