I am a solo developer who for the past year has been building Roadmappy dot io.
Roadmappy has meeting bots which can join to record meetings and process information with AI for insights for product teams.
Because of the recent changes in Zoom related to the OBF tokens, I now had to integrate Roadmappy with Zoom to allow my users to authenticate with Zoom.
But I now face a problem that I cannot actually publish the Zoom app (unlisted) because I am not a legal entity for now. In the Zoom app creation process it is asking me for information about legal entity and bank account of legal entity which I do not have.
My 2 clients now cannot use the Zoom bot recording features. I plan to create a legal entity in the coming months, but I need a way for my ~100+ users to integrate Zoom next week.
Hey Ivan, this is the EU Digital Services Act (DSA). Zoom has to collect trader verification info from anyone distributing apps to EU users in a professional capacity. With paying clients, that includes you even without a formal entity.
The bank details (institution name + last 4 digits) are never published, strictly internal compliance.
A personal account used for business typically satisfies the financial requirement. Sole trader or freelancer registrations count as a “Trader” in this instance. If your users aren’t in the EU, limiting distribution to outside the EU would remove DSA compliance requirements.
