Restricting RTMS app access and querying meeting metadata

Realtime Media Streams

Hi there,

I understand that RTMS features are only available to user-level apps, and I have the following queries:

  1. We intend to limit the use of this app to a specific group of users within our organization. If we publish the app for beta testing, will everyone in our organization be able to download it and start streaming data during zoom meetings (thus incurring costs)? Is there a way to restrict access to specific groups?
  2. We need to query for the meeting topic, host email, and participant email addresses during the meeting. To avoid managing individual user access/refresh tokens, is it possible (or a good idea) to create a separate admin-managed app to call the zoom API for this data?
  3. Is it possible to obtain participant email addresses using the host’s token?

For restricting who can use your RTMS-enabled app, you can rely on Zoom’s distribution controls. Zoom allows you to only enable RTMS at the account, group, and user level.

For meeting topic/host identity, if you would prefer to avoid managing individual access/refresh tokens, then it does make sense to me to create a separate admin-managed app to get access to this data at the admin level.

If you want to go deeper, feel free to check out Recall.ai. We’re a Zoom RTMS Preferred Partner and you can get further support through Recall.ai if interested!
