I know the Zoom Rooms Control System API (ZR-CSAPI) is listed as “legacy” on the documentation page. We use this API in production and would like an authoritative answer on when it will no longer function.

What is the official replacement? Is it the “Zoom Rooms Controller SDK”? Or will an API (not tied to C++) be made available?

Thanks.

Hi @ZoomArounder there’s no known timeline for deprecation. The ZRC SDK is the alternative option. In the instance we would deprecate ZR CSAPI, we would give ample notice and have a migration timeline in place.

Hi @gianni.zoom! Is it safe to assume that the **legacy** label is indicating that there will be more focus on developing the ZRC SDK and less on the ZR CSAPI?

Hi @f003vtr yes this is correct–there are no updates in the works for ZR CSAPI.
