Is this true, or is there a way to do 1-3 via the Zoom API?
If there is currently no way to do 1-3 via the Zoom API, are there plans to allow for these in the future?
Use case: my company creates Zoom users and Zoom groups on behalf of our users and their organizations via API. Enabling RTMS for new groups, for example, cannot be done programmatically. This has required some extra work by our support staff which we’d like to avoid.
Hey @davej, we’re working on these, but I don’t have a timeline yet. We want it to be as easy as possible for apps to join with users when they join meetings.
We’re working on a few things that will make this flow easier:
REST API for a participant in a meeting to request an app start a stream. This allows your app to start a stream for users that are participating in meetings. (Already available for hosts).
APIs for apps to set themselves to auto open in meetings. An app running as a surface in Meetings (Zoom App; embedded web app) can auto open then use the JS SDK to start RTMS when the meeting begins. This is, functionally, auto-start for the user.
APIs and associated permissions/scopes for an app to choose to auto-start if the user wants apps to auto start in meetings. (Wouldn’t work if the user has turned off auto-start). There are some user experience considerations here, we want to make it very clear to someone why an app is now joining with them if they themselves did not choose it in their settings.
These are subject to change as we’re exploring the requirements and permission expectations. We don’t have committed release dates yet, but know that this is a goal to make as easy as possible.
