**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**  
I’m interested to use Zoom API to analyze video streams of participants with AI to give insights, e.g. recognize facial emotions.

**Describe the solution you’d like**  
I want to have an API so that I can run deep learning models on the video and audio stream of people on the call.

**Describe alternatives you’ve considered**  
Stand-alone web app.

**Additional context**  
As of March 2019, this wasn’t supported:

> [@Can I hook video/audio stream](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/can-i-hook-video-audio-stream/3507):
>
> I want to develop some new features. Example: 1) I can get audio stream, and I post it to ASR service go get text, and then I send to NLP service to understand user’s intention. In teacher’s screen I can search more content from website to extend more knowledge. 2) I can get video stream to extract user’s emotion or face. it use to find out who is absent or absent-minded in classroom.

I’d also like to access audio streams via the API, it seems like maybe that’s already possible? I see chorus.ai have a feature that does some analysis of meeting audio. I don’t necessarily need to stream it live, though it would be nice.

If you can let me know if this is possible with the current API and point me in the right direction that’d be awesome.

Thanks!
