I would like my app to present some custom and very minimal meeting UI that would be tailored to the specific use case, however allow the switch into full Zoom experience if needed.  
Is it possible to switch between custom and regular UI and vice versa?

Hi [grey-bit](https://devforum.zoom.us/u/grey-bit),

Thanks for the post. Do you mean switching between custom and Zoom default UI while in the meeting? I am afraid this is not supported at the moment.

Thanks!

I am ok if it requires disconnecting and reconnecting to the meeting.

thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the reply. Since the flag to enable the Custom UI is done at SDK initialization, so you will need to re-initialize again when switching. It sounds not that feasible to do this.

Hope this helps. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. Is there a method to deinitialize SDK? I would measure the time it takes to reinit if it’s available.

You may consider using `CleanUpSDK`([https://zoom.github.io/zoom-sdk-windows/zoom\_\_sdk\_8h.html#a4d51ce7c15c3ca14851acaad646d3de9](https://zoom.github.io/zoom-sdk-windows/zoom__sdk_8h.html#a4d51ce7c15c3ca14851acaad646d3de9)) so you can reinit to switch between UIs.

Hope this helps. Thanks!

Thanks! Don’t know why I missed it in the docs with such an obvious name.
