Permission to create meeting bot

I want to write a zoom app to show who has already gone in stand-up.

My preference would be to add another participant whose screen would show some picture of who has gone and some data, or worst case scenario

to send messages to chat. Opening up another page seems implausible.

When I go to App Marketplace, I get “What kind of app are you creating?”. The options are

  • General App

  • Server to Server OAuth

  • Webhook Only

I get the impression that the answer I want to give is “Zoom Apps SDK.”

Your chatbot says I need a separate zoom developer account. Your public forum says I need to contact developer support to get my existing account upgraded.

Here are areas where I was set on the wrong track:

Hi, I’m Zoom’s Virtual Agent :robot:

Zoom may retain your chat transcript to use for quality, training, and analysis purposes.

How can I assist you today?

Hello, I am building a Zoom App that runs inside Zoom meetings using the Zoom Apps SDK. However, in the App Marketplace I only see options for General, Webhook, and Server-to-Server apps. Could you please enable access to the Zoom Apps SDK on my account so I can build and test my in-meeting application? Thank you!

9:04 AM To enable access to the Zoom Apps SDK for building in-meeting applications, you will need to have a Zoom Developer account.

To access the Zoom Apps SDK, you will need to sign up for a Zoom Developer account. This can be done through the Zoom Developer Portal. Once you have a Zoom Developer account, you can then access the Zoom Apps SDK and begin building your in-meeting application. Please note that the use of Zoom Apps may require approval from your company’s IT administrator, depending on your organization’s Zoom settings. I hope this helps provide the information you need to get started with building your Zoom App. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I had to remove the protocol because I’m not allowed to add links.

“The reason you only see General, Webhook, and Server-to-Server apps is that Zoom Apps SDK access isn’t enabled by default. You need to request access from Zoom via their Developer Support or your account manager.”

Hey @Johnathon
Thank you for sharing this with us and welcome to the Zoom developer forum!
As we chatted yesterday, you should be able to create a Zoom app using a General Oauth App.
Here is the link to our docs:

I also want to share the link to our Github, where you will be able to find a lot of sample apps that you can use as a boilerplate or as a reference for your own projects:

@jonathon ,

I regret you can not use AI to build everything. There is a lot of out of date information which AI does not understand.

You need to roll up your sleeves and learn it all. But once you do, there are amazing possibilities.

There are apps that have shown the time on stage.
There is an API that allows you to see who the active speaker is.

I am creating apps for Toastmasters, and will be adding a similar task.
My use case is to hint to the meeting host to include people who have not been able to speak to them in the meeting.

All the best

John
