Hi Zoom team,

We’re evaluating Zoom Realtime Media Streams (RTMS) for a multi-tenant SaaS integration and would like to confirm the current entitlement and billing model before purchasing Developer Pack credits.

In the current Zoom Developer pricing UI, we see:

- RTMS Stream — €0.0092/min — “Available on paid plan only”
- RTMS Transcription — €0.0184/min — “Available on paid plan only”

The Developer Pack card separately offers Pay as you go, €0 upfront, “Try 20 credits free,” and “Buy now.”

Could you please clarify:

1. What exactly does “Available on paid plan only” mean for RTMS Stream?

2. Can the “Try 20 credits free” Developer Pack trial credits be used for RTMS Stream, or is RTMS excluded from the trial tier?

3. For a third-party multi-tenant SaaS app, who owns and pays for the Developer Pack credits?

4. Can a Zoom Meetings Basic user/account participate in or host a meeting whose RTMS stream is consumed by a third-party Marketplace app when the app developer has the required paid Developer Pack entitlement?

5. For REST/on-demand RTMS activation, is a dedicated app-associated participant that is invited to and joins another account’s meeting a supported model, assuming the documented invitee/join and host-approval requirements are satisfied?

Our immediate goal is a controlled sandbox certification. We want to understand the entitlement model before purchasing anything.

Thanks.
