Hello everyone,

I’m currently developing a React Native app that’s meant to support live courses. I’m planning to use the Zoom Meeting SDK for this purpose, but I have a few questions and would appreciate your experiences and insights.

1. SDK Version: I’ve noticed that the Meeting SDK for React Native is currently only available in version 0.0.1. Does anyone have information on when we can expect a stable, production-ready version?
2. Expo Support: Does anyone know if there are plans to make the SDK compatible with Expo? This would significantly simplify the integration process.
3. Experience Reports: Has anyone here already implemented the SDK in a React Native project? What were your experiences with it?
4. Alternatives: If the SDK isn’t mature enough yet - do you know of any good alternatives for integrating meetings calls into React Native apps? Is the VideoSDK capable of doing it?

I’m looking forward to your responses and tips!

Best regards,  
Entspannungshelden

The Zoom Meeting SDK for React Native is in early stages (v0.0.1), with no clear timeline for a stable release. Expo support isn’t officially available yet. Some developers have faced challenges with the SDK; alternatives like Jitsi Meet or Zoom’s VideoSDK may offer more stability for live video integration in React Native.

We need to use Zoom, because of other requirements. According to the Authorize Documentation for the VideoSDK the “The Video SDK cannot join Zoom meetings or webinars.” So it is not really an alternative. Or am I wrong?

You are correct. The Video SDK cannot join Zoom meetings or webinars, as it is designed for custom video applications. It’s not a direct alternative to the Meeting SDK for standard Zoom meetings.

@entspannungshelden I am in a similar position. Would love to hear what you have landed on and if you have tried to use the Meeting SDK with Expo.

Thank you

Same goes for me. We need to integrate Meeting SDK in Expo App. Current it is not able to bind mobileRTC in the project while compiling.

Thanks!

I’m sure there is an expo config library out there that you could use to inject the android dependencies necessary for the meeting sdk. I found this one [GitHub - lukawolf/expo-android-app-gradle-dependencies](https://github.com/lukawolf/expo-android-app-gradle-dependencies), but there is probably a way to also do it via expo mods [Mods - Expo Documentation](https://docs.expo.dev/config-plugins/mods/) . The rest is just modifying the AndroidManifest.xml file which is definitely possible with expo config plugins, then you should be able to use expo prebuild to generate your android folder. For IOS there is less work to do, but it all seems pretty straight forward.
