Almost all WebRTC SDKs give an option to use canvas video as a media feed in to the meeting. I can’t find a way to do this on Zoom. Is this not supported?

Hey @websdkfan ,

If I understand your ask correctly, we do offer this with our Video SDK:

> **[Manage Video - Essential Guides - Web - Video SDKs - Zoom Software...](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/video/web/essential/video)**
>
> Manage Video
> 
> 
> 
> This section goes over the video stream APIs. 
> 
> All methods can be accessed through a stream instance retrieved through the client.getMe...

Due note the [differences between the Meeting SDK and Video SDK](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/overview/compare).

Let me know if that helps! 🙂

Thanks,  
Tommy

Thanks for the reply. And a Video SDK cannot join a Zoom Meeting, correct?

@tommy Can you mark this questions as not solved then? Zoom SDK does **not** offer a method to use anything other than a camera device to send media in to a meeting.

Hey @websdkfan ,

Sure - the Web Meeting SDK, does not, correct. (The Web Video SDK does.)

Thanks again @tommy. Appreciate the support. Let’s not mix Video SDK in to this conversation, the ask if for media streams in to a Zoom meeting which Video SDK clearly is not designed for.
