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! 🙂

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](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/video/web) 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](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/web).

Since the VideoSDK is just audio and video streams, and separate from Zoom meetings/webinars you can’t use the [Zoom APIs](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/introduction) to control the VideoSDK.
