Initial setup of a basic demo App with Video SDK

[preyash (LilacBuds)]

Usecase related to Education - tutoring services

1. Create a Session by the Tutor (mark as host) – Done
2. Make 3-4 other students join the same session – Done
3. Show note taking components in custom UI - so render video-sdk component inside iframe (unable to figure this out)
4. Annotation on share screen like regular zoom + whiteboard capabilities – Need help
5. Ability to use API calls like client SDK instead of Angular/React code. My current language is PHP Laravel. So we prefer API calls. Is this supported ?
6. I see recording is not available by default. What is the plan to support this ? If not, is there any documentation on how we can do this ourselves and store recording on S3 buckets

Hey @preyash , thanks for posting and using Zoom!

@preyash

Show note taking components in custom UI - so render video-sdk component inside iframe (unable to figure this out)

Idea here, you can render the video streams on one side of the screen, and then display your note taking component on the other side.

The Video SDK does not have this feature, you will have to develop your own annotation service on top of the Video SDK, or use the Client SDK.

Since the VideoSDK is just audio and video streams, and separate from Zoom meetings/webinars you can’t use the Zoom APIs to control the VideoSDK.
