Description
I am developing a windows application using zoom sdk windows to access raw audio video data of all connected users. I have my sdk secret key. I need my windows application to connect to zoom meeting without any UI.

Question 1: Is there any way to connect to zoom meeting in windows c++ environment to connect as bot user ?

Question 2: May i receive raw audio video on 25i/25p or other frame rate then 29.97 por 30p ?

If there is any such way please let me know. I need to do this in c++ windows.

Hi @manjit.singh!

You should be able to send bots to Zoom meetings programmatically using the Zoom Windows SDK. In case it’s helpful, I’ll link a sample app built by the Zoom team that demonstrates how to fetch raw audio and video data from a Zoom meeting using the Windows SDK. This does have a UI, but you should be able to modify it to run without this UI if you don’t want it.

Unfortunately, I don’t believe it’s possible to control the frame rate of the raw video data. I’ve double checked Zoom’s documentation around this to see if anything new has been added recently and I don’t see this as an option.

Another option would be to use the Recall.ai API. It’s a simple 3rd party API that lets you use meeting bots to get raw audio/video from meetings and interact with participants without you needing to spend months to build, scale and maintain these bots.

Let me know if you have any questions!

@manjit.singh,

If you are looking for headless Zoom Meeting SDK, then you can leverage the Linux meeting SDK. Here is the link to the Github repo and support documents:

Zoom Meeting SDK for Linux

Also, here is the support documentation for the Meeting SDK for Windows’ C# wrapper:

Hi @amanda-recallai

Thanks for reply.

  1. “You should be able to send bots to Zoom meetings programmatically using the Zoom Windows SDK” => How to do in Zoom Windows c++ sdk ??
  2. In given sample app (mentioned above) when i call method “virtual SDKError Join(JoinParam& joinParam)” of IMeetingService it automatically opens a UI dialogue box. How to get rid of it. I want it should join without any dialogue.

I’m in the process of developing a Zoom bot using the Meeting SDK that can join meetings as a user and record both audio and video. So far, I’ve:

  • Successfully created an SDK app
  • Acquired my Client ID and Client Secret
  • Developed code to generate ZAK tokens for user-based authentication

Now I’ve hit a roadblock.

I’m not sure how to proceed after generating the ZAK token. My goal is to have multiple bots (licensed users) join different meetings concurrently, each acting as an independent participant with recording capabilities. To support this, I’ve already subscribed to the Business Plan with two licensed users as a starting point. Once the architecture is functional, we plan to scale further.

I would appreciate guidance on:

  1. Steps required after obtaining the ZAK token to complete a successful bot-based meeting join
  2. Handling multi-user coordination for simultaneous meetings
  3. Automating recording functionality within the SDK limitations
  4. Ensuring that my approach complies with Zoom’s policies regarding bot behavior and user simulation

@manjit.singh,

Which SDK you are working with in your implementations and what have you tried ?
