Publishing Meeting SDK apps into marketplace

Meeting SDK
1

Description
I’m trying to create an app that uses meeting sdk (windows and macos) features such as manipulating incoming camera , doing some visual effects on them then later publishing these feed as camera output when such button is clicked to enable this effect. Unlike overlays effects on marketplace I have to use incoming camera frame as input to my algorithm and output an full image . Basically access raw data - manipulate it with my algorithm - output as camera so other meeting participiants will see manipulated camera frame when they see this users camera.

I tried this demo apps which gives you an app like zoom ( which can join meetings) , but I’m not sure how to upload this or how this type of app could be a marketplace app considering it’s basically a zoom client. So is it not possible to publish the zoom client we created/modified using meeting sdk demo into marketplace ? Is marketplace apps are using different SDK ? Do I have to store this new zoom app in somewhere on cloud ? My app will be a local app so I don’t have anything to do with cloud my app won’t stay in cloud. Will I just create some dmg file as (macos) or exe as windows and upload to marketplace somehow?

I’m really lost on this thanks

Hey @Ugurkan,

We’ve helped hundreds of our own customers through the Zoom app approval process so I’m happy to share any insight I can here.

The core thing to keep in mind here is that getting your app approved on the marketplace does not mean that Zoom will distribute your app. It simply means that you get an official app listing on the marketplace that demonstrates what your app does, and directs users to a place where they can install it or start using it (such as from your website).

So in your case, if you’re developing a local/desktop application, you would still be distributing this yourself from your own app’s site. The Zoom marketplace approval simply enables meeting SDK access across external Zoom orgs (vs being limited to your own Zoom org with non-approved SDK credentials), and puts your app on their marketplace as a listing to direct users to a place where they can install your app.
