Hey can someone help with captions. I created app using video sdk but live transcriptions isnt enabled. Found out video sdk doesnt have transcription even though doc says otherwise. I wanted to know if in my account i create webhook only app, can I then have video sdk meetings to be sending rtms using webhooks for transcription or i have to enable it in my account somewhere?
You don’t need a separate webhook-only app for this. Zoom’s current path for Video SDK captions is either live transcription and translation inside the SDK, or RTMS for Video SDK if you want media or transcript delivery to your backend. The webhook is just how Zoom notifies your server that an RTMS session started. It is not a standalone way to add RTMS to a different app.
For Video SDK RTMS, you will need to add the RTMS webhook event to your app and handle the meeting.rtms_started event on your backend so you can begin the RTMS connection when the session starts. Based on that flow, I would not expect a separate webhook-only app to be required for a Video SDK RTMS integration.
If you’re looking to use Zoom RTMS out-of-the-box, we’re a Zoom RTMS Preferred Partner. We’ve helped thousands of developers integrate with Zoom and can help you with your RTMS integration too!
Okay that is helpful but I understand i have to request to enable rtms but what about the live transcription and translation in video sdk how to enable that?
For live transcription and translation in the Zoom Video SDK, Zoom documents how to enable and use it on the transcription and translation page. Have you been able to test this flow out on your end yet? Curious if this has worked for you, or if you’re running into issues when setting this up with the Video SDK.
