Recently I was trying to build a web application by integrating zoom API. I was able to get lists, meetings, create lists, delete, etc. But what I couldn’t achieve is getting video from the API. Can anyone please help me, how can I do it?

> **[Web - Client SDKs - Zoom Software Development Kit (Zoom SDK)](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/web)**

Let me know if this helps to clarify.
