Hi Zoom Team, I’d like to request access to the Zoom Apps Developer Program to build and test an internal proof-of-concept app called “SmartBO.” The goal is to integrate a simple in-meeting Zoom App that reads participant data through the Zoom Apps SDK to automate breakout room pairings for educational sessions on our [SpeakingClub.com](http://SpeakingClub.com) platform. This app will be used for internal testing only. Thank you for your help! – Boris ---

Hi Gianni, thanks for your reply! Just to clarify, I’m not looking for a commercial or partner engagement at this stage. I simply need my domain (**[zoomapp.bdsplugins.com](http://zoomapp.bdsplugins.com)**) reviewed and approved so I can enable the **Zoom Apps SDK** for internal testing of a proof-of-concept (SmartBO). Could you please confirm if this can be handled through the current developer support process, or if I should open a separate ticket for SDK domain validation? Thank you for your time and help! ---

Hi @boristheteacher sorry for the delay. I do not get notifications unless I am directly @. If the [domain validation process](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/distribute/app-submission/verify-domains/) did not work, and you need manual validation, I will tag @kwaku.nyante to assist you. ---

Interesting use case for breakout room automation. Using participant data through the Zoom Apps SDK could make educational sessions much smoother and more organized. Hope your SmartBO proof of concept gets approved soon would be great to see how it performs in real meeting environments.
