Hi!

Firstly, massive thanks to all of you at Zoom for all your hard work keeping this service up and running. Your hard work really is appreciated.

In the current Desktop SDK is there any access to the participant video and audio buffers via custom render/draw call hooks? There are a couple of header files (zoom\_sdk\_raw\_data\_def.h and zoom\_sdk\_raw\_data\_helper\_interface.h) that describe pixel and audio formats which point to this being accessible - but they don’t appear to be referenced anywhere else in the SDK. It would be great to have access to this in order to integrate with other video and audio pipelines.

Thanks  
Sam

Hi everyone,

Thanks for interested in the raw data access&license. The raw data license is currently not available for apply. We are currently investigating the feasibility to make this feature more accessible and will keep everyone posted.

Thanks!

Am also interested and hope it comes back soon. Also would like to be able to feed the camera feed, so no need to do the virtual camera workaround.
