startRTMS() returns Success but meeting.rtms_started webhook never fires — requesting RTMS backend enablement

Hello all,

I’ve been building a side paanel Zoom App that uses RTMS to capture live meeting transcripts. I’ve completed all configuration steps (I think) but meeting.rtms_started never arrives at my webhook server.

App ID: yjH0KL3hQ0Gchn7UQVqyWg

Symptoms:

  • zoomSdk.startRTMS() returns {“message”:“Success”}
  • getRTMSStatus() immediately returns {“rtmsStatus”:}
  • meeting.rtms_started webhook never fires — only meeting.started and meeting.ended arrive
  • “Your app failed to access meeting content” toast appears in Zoom client

Configuration completed:

  • RTMS enabled on Enterprise account
  • Event subscription with meeting.rtms_started and meeting.rtms_stopped subscribed, webhook URL validated
  • Zoom App SDK toggle ON with all RTMS APIs declared: startRTMS, stopRTMS, getRTMSStatus, pauseRTMS, resumeRTMS, onRTMSStatusChange
  • Allow auto-start for RTMS enabled
  • Scopes present: rtms:read:rtms_started, rtms:read:rtms_stopped, rtms:read:rtms_interrupted, zoomapp:inmeeting
  • Zoom desktop client version: 6.7.8

Environment: Zoom App (side panel), development/local test mode, instant meetings

Based on some other threads I’ve seen, it appears this requires a backend provisioning change on Zoom’s side. Could someone from the team enable RTMS for this app/our account? Or if there is something that I’ve done wrong please point me in the right direction.

Thank you!

@Tom_PD I’ll PM you for some account details

Same issue here. Client ID: 0rX9YVHeTguboQa78UKmBw. Auto-start shows the in-meeting banner and Active App Notifier, but meeting.rtms_started is never delivered (tested both WebSocket and HTTP webhook). Pro account with Developer Pack trial active. Please enable RTMS for my app.

@Zach6 please check your events again. current you are not subscribed to any RTMS related events for your subscription in 0rX9YVHeTguboQa78UKmBw .

I’ve now checked the RTMS started in Meeting and stopped in Meeting. But still not seeing those events in Webhook or WebSocket. Anything required in the Zoom Backend to enable my account?

@Zach6 I’ve checked your account, it is enabled for RTMS.

Can you check your endpoint URL again?
