Missing "Create Zoom App" option in Marketplace on free owner account

Zoom Apps
1

Hello, I’m trying to build and test an in-client Zoom App using the Zoom Apps SDK.

My setup:

  • Frontend: React (Zoom Apps SDK)

  • Backend: NestJS (WebSockets + REST)

  • Account: Basic (free), personal account, I’m the account owner

  • Region: Belgium (EU)

The issue is that in the Zoom App Marketplace (Develop => Build App) I only see the following app types:

  • General App

  • Server-to-Server OAuth App

  • Webhook Only App

There is no option to create a Zoom App (in-client app). Because of this, I can’t configure a Home URL, Domain Allow List, or proceed with testing the Zoom Apps SDK at all.

To rule out admin or policy restrictions, I also created a completely new personal account, but the result is exactly the same.

Is the ability to create Zoom Apps limited to certain account types (for example, not available on Basic/free accounts) or restricted by region (EU/Belgium)?

Try picking a General App and proceeding with the on-screen workflow. You’ll be able to specify the Home URL and Domain Allow List in (Build your app; Features; Surface). Take your best guess in ‘Select how the app is managed’ and if you can’t find the appropriate admin or non-admin scopes, remove the application from all users that added it and you can change that setting.
