**Description**  
Hi,  
regarding the web SDK, i see that video streaming is made threw websockets.

- is there any fallback when browser dont support it?
- is it still well supported when there are more than 10 000 attendees?
- if there is no latency with websockets, why dont you support polls in the web SDK?
- as websockets are supported on mobile browsers, why the webSDk is not supported on mobile browsers phones and tablets? or is it?  
thanks

Hey @sebpatu,

You can see the Web SDK browser support here:

> **[Web - Client SDKs - Zoom Software Development Kit (Zoom SDK)](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/web#browser-support)**
>
> Zoom Web SDK
> 
> The Web SDK enables the development of video applications powered by Zoom's core framework inside an HTML5 web client through a highly opt...

We also use Web Assembly which is not yet fully supported across all browsers:

> **[WebAssembly.instantiateStreaming()](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/WebAssembly/instantiateStreaming)**
>
> The WebAssembly.instantiateStreaming() function compiles and instantiates a WebAssembly module directly from a streamed underlying source. This is the most efficient, optimized way to load wasm code.

Does that answer your questions?

Thanks,  
Tommy

- if there is no latency with websockets, why dont you support polls in the web SDK?
- as websockets are supported on mobile browsers, why the webSDk is not supported on mobile browsers phones and tablets?

Hey @sebpatu,

Currently there are some connection issues with when there are more than 300 participants in a meeting using the Web SDK. To support 10,000 participants we suggest using the Zoom App instead.

Are you using meetings or webinars?

About polling, we are working to support it, and all other features on the Zoom App that are not on the Web SDK yet. It is not an issue with how websockets work. 🙂

The Web SDK is supported on Mobile Browsers, but some features work and are supported differently across the different browsers:

Thanks,

thanks

Hey @sebpatu,

The 300 participant issue is only for meetings. I am confirming to see if this issue is also present for Webinar attendees.

Thanks,  
Tommy
