ZR-CSAPI Roadmap detail [repost]

Hey @Daniel_Rees,

Good point, I will add this to the feature request. (ZOOM-201509)

Thanks,
Tommy

Hey @melliott,

We will release the following in the next Zoom Rooms release:

  • Enable/Disable participant sharing
  • Accept recording prompt

Here is the syntax:

  1. zConfiguration Call Share Setting: <HOST_GRAB / LOCK_SHARE / ANYONE_GRAB / MULTI_SHARE>

Enable/Disable participant sharing.

    Set:zConfiguration Call Share Setting: <HOST_GRAB / LOCK_SHARE / ANYONE_GRAB / MULTI_SHARE>
    Get:  zConfiguration Call Share Setting
  1. zCommand Agree Recording:<on / off>

Usage
As a participant of the conference, you can accept or reject the host’s recording conference request.

Parameter description
on : You will agree to the host’s meeting recording and continue the meeting.
off : You will reject the host’s meeting recording and exit the meeting.

Thanks,
Tommy

That is awesome, thank you so much! Looking forward to it!

Hi guys

We’ve discovered a ZR-CSAPI regression in the following command:

zCommand Dial Start meetingNumber: <number>

We’ve been using this to join meetings by ID, but in 5.1.1 the command does nothing. We don’t even get an error response!

We’re able to use the following command instead to successfully join meetings:

zCommand Dial Join meetingNumber: <number>

Unfortunately we have dozens of embedded systems in the wild using the ā€œStartā€ variant. Please can you guys look into restoring the functionality of the old command?

Thanks,
Chris

I can confirm with Chris that Dial Start no longer works but Dial Join does. Sudden changes the ZR-CSAPI will seriously break existing integrations. If this is going to be changed again, please notify accordingly.

Hey @melliott, @chris.cameron,

Apologies for the sudden change. Let me investigate this issue asap. (ZOOM-188436)

Thanks,
Tommy

Hey @melliott, @chris.cameron,

This is currently scheduled to be fixed this weekend.

In the meantime as a work around, you can use the join command, or revert to a previous version of the Zoom Room.

Thanks,
Tommy

I’m also noticing some mismatches in what the controller apps offer vs what’s documented. For example:

https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/zoom-rooms/zoom-rooms-cli/zConfiguration doesn’t show any ability to:

  • enable / disable waiting room (in-call)
  • enable / disable screen sharing (in-call)
  • enable / disable chat (in-call)
  • enable / disable rename (in-call)

Suggestions? Or is that yet to be implemented?

Hey @josiahbryan,

If the features are not listed in the docs, they are not yet implemented.

Feel free to add these as feature requests here: #feature-requests

Thanks,
Tommy

Is there any mechanism to disable the phone book dump that happens when a ZR-CSAPI controller connects to the Zoom Room for the first time? Receiving a dump of 15,000 entries ends up locking up our AV processor for at least 10 minutes; prevent the in-room system from being used during that time.

This also happens anytime the Zoom Room restarts and the controller reconnects.

Also, probably 90% of the information in the phone book is wrong making it not useful anyways.

Thanks!

Mike

Hey @melliott,

Can you please create a new topic about this issue?

Thanks,
Tommy

Hey @Daniel_Rees,

The ā€œzCommand Dial Start meetingNumber: ā€ command generally does not require the user to enter a passcode to start a meeting. Unless the user turns off the switch ā€œbypass the passcode when joining meetings from meeting listā€ ( on web portal, your room setting => Meeting => Security => )

Thanks,
Tommy
