Zoom native SDK for macOs licensing and use of Developer accounts & Meeting SDK credentials app


Description
We are planning to create a zoom application, say “ZoomBot” which will be capable for getting audio streams of each participants joined in the zoom meeting and send these audio streams to an external application. So, for this we understand that, we need meeting native sdk and with the help of this SDK, we can build this “ZoomBot” application. So, as a first step, we are trying to understand the below points like,

  1. Why we need a developer account and App for Meeting SDK credentials in zoom market place. Is it only for authentication of this “ZoomBot” application ?
    If so, suppose, we have two clients/customers going to use this application. say client1 has 10 end users and client2 has 20 end users. So in this case, should we need two developer accounts and two Meeting SDK credentials apps in zoom market place. Or the separate Meeting SDK credentials app required for each end user ?. How it works and it will get billed ?
  2. Is there any licensing associated with zoom meeting native sdk for macOS. Or licensing is associated with the above mentioned developer account or Meeting SDK credentials App. How the licensing will works for each clients in this case.

Please help

@shamnusln, to answer your questions:

Why we need a developer account and App for Meeting SDK credentials in zoom market place. Is it only for authentication of this “ZoomBot” application ?

Yes, you are correct. The recommend way to build a Zoom Bot is to have it join via the Meeting SDK, which means you need your own Meeting SDK credentials.

If so, suppose, we have two clients/customers going to use this application. say client1 has 10 end users and client2 has 20 end users. So in this case, should we need two developer accounts and two Meeting SDK credentials apps in zoom market place. Or the separate Meeting SDK credentials app required for each end user ?

You only need to create 1 set of Meeting SDK credentials for your app, no matter how many customers you have. Your customers don’t need to create their own credentials.

How it works and it will get billed ?

You will not get billed for creating Meeting SDK keys and using them for a bot.

Is there any licensing associated with zoom meeting native sdk for macOS. Or licensing is associated with the above mentioned developer account or Meeting SDK credentials App.

Here is the MacOS meeting SDK license: https://github.com/zoom/zoom-sdk-macos/blob/master/LICENSE.pdf

As you’re building your own Zoom bot, it might be worth checking out Recall.ai. It’s a simple 3rd party API that lets you use meeting bots to get the raw audio/video from meetings + output video/audio without you needing to spend months to build, scale and maintain these bots.

Let me know if you have any questions!
