Hi – our Zoom app in development is for audio post-production collaboration. The app plays back a shared high-quality audio + video stream inside the app’s webview. Because the meeting’s echo cancellation has no reference for audio rendered in the webview, an open Zoom mic re-captures the playing stream into the meeting. To prevent this, the app mutes the user’s Zoom mic while the stream transport is playing and restores it on stop:
const state = await zoomSdk.getAudioState(); // { audio: bool }
await zoomSdk.setAudioState({ audio: false }); // on start
...
await zoomSdk.setAudioState({ audio: true }); // on stop
Problem:
On every call to setAudioState (in both directions) the participants get a dialogue asking for permission to let the app do the mute/unmute: “[App Name] wants to mute/unmute your audio” . This is a little heavy handed for our use case and is more strict than the host specifically muting someone manually (in that case the mute is activated and the dialogue just informs the participant about it).
Environment:
@zoom/appssdk 0.16.40
Zoom desktop client 7.0.5 on macOS 13.5
The app is in development and unpublished.
Questions:
Is there any way to give a onetime consent to mute/unmute in this case, or any settings I can change to remove the prompt or align the behavior more with the “host manually muting participants” case?
Thanks,
