Hi @blain ,
- Is it possible to allow users to start a zoom meeting by launching the stand-alone zoom app from within our app via REST API calls?
Yes, absolutely. Using an OAuth app with the meeting.write scope, your app can create and read meeting information for installed users. The Meeting API will provide a start URL (for the host) and join URL for meeting participants. Clicking/launching this URL will route the user to a zoom.us domain and then launch the Zoom application on their device.
The app will need to be published onto our App Marketplace to allow for users outside of your account to install the app.
Sorry to hear the size of the macOS SDK is causing issues. We understand this can be improved and are work to get the smallest package size where possible. As an interoperable Zoom client, the Meeting SDK has a number of required dependencies that we are not able to remove at this time.
If you have not yet, I’d recommend looking into our Video SDK which we provided intentionally to be lighter and provide more flexible developer options.
