Google Play Photo and Video Permissions Policy

Meeting SDK Android
1

Description
Hi! There is a new Google Play Photo and Video Permissions Policy taking effect on August 31, 2024. There are two ways to comply with this:

  1. Remove READ_MEDIA_IMAGES and READ_MEDIA_VIDEO permissions and use a system picker if access to photos and videos is infrequent.
  2. Pass an access review in Play Console if you need broad access to photos and videos.

Currently, these permissions are added to our app from the Zoom SDK. From my testing, it seems that Zoom already uses the Android photo picker and so shouldn’t need these permissions as broad access isn’t required.

Could Zoom remove these permissions if possible in an upcoming version to comply with the new Google Play policy?

Which Android Meeting SDK version?
6.1.1
