I _may_ have solved my issue. In the initialization of the SDK, the [online documentation](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/video-sdk/macos/integrate/) includes this:

```swift
let initParams = ZMVideoSDKInitParams()
initParams.domain = "zoom.us"
initParams.enableLog = true

```

But, what is not indicated is that if you do not supply a `logFilePrefix` then SDK initialization will fail. Be sure to include that in your setup. _This differs from the iOS SDK which does not require the log file prefix to be set._

```swift
let initParams = ZMVideoSDKInitParams()
initParams.domain = "zoom.us"
initParams.enableLog = true
initParams.logFilePrefix = "ZoomSDK"

```

_Fabulous work, Zoom team_… maybe updating your documentation and sample projects should be a higher priority.
