Hi,
I am developing an App with .NET Maui that will use Zoom capabilities.
The app will allow users to create a video session and invite other users to this session (to have a yoga session together - for example). Other users are allowed to do the same, so different sessions with different hosts will running simultaneously. Sessions will be limited to max 12 users.
I am able to integrate the functions inside the app or as a web service (will then be running in a Webview inside the app).
What is the best decision: Meeting SDK or Video SDK? And what would be the best Zoom pricing model to realize this?
If your goal is to embed a standard meeting, that will look similar to what you see in typical Zoom meetings and have similar functionality, then Meeting SDK is the way to go. You can set specific users to be hosts and allow others to join.
If you’d like to customize how your video-call experience looks and the functionality, Video SDK will be the way to go. So, for instance, if you’d like to change the location of the toolbar, or what features are offered within it, you’d want to use Video vs Meeting SDK.
Additionally, Meeting SDK will allow you to use meetings and webinars, and give you access to the Zoom workplace API. The Video SDK, however, is session-based (so no webinar access) and has it’s own set of webhook and APIs.
Based on what you shared, I think Meeting SDK should work for your desired outcome.
