Zoom AI Services Scribe

Background reference for Zoom AI Services Scribe across:

synchronous single-file transcription (POST /aiservices/scribe/transcribe)
asynchronous batch jobs (/aiservices/scribe/jobs*)
browser microphone pseudo-streaming via repeated short file uploads
webhook-driven batch status updates
Build-platform JWT generation and credential handling

Official docs:

Routing Guardrail

If the user needs uploaded or stored media transcribed into text, route here first.
If the user needs live meeting media without file-based upload/batch jobs, route to ../rtms/SKILL.md.
If the user needs Zoom REST API inventory for AI Services paths, chain ../rest-api/SKILL.md.
If the user needs webhook signature patterns or generic HMAC receiver hardening, optionally chain ../webhooks/SKILL.md.

Core Workflow

Get Build-platform credentials and generate an HS256 JWT.
Choose fast mode for one short file or batch mode for stored archives / large sets.
Submit the transcription request.
For batch jobs, poll job/file status or receive webhook notifications.
Persist and post-process transcript JSON.

Hosted Fast-Mode Guardrail

The formal fast-mode API limits are 100 MB and 2 hours, but hosted browser flows can still time out before the upstream response returns.
Current deployed-sample observations:
- ~17.2 MB MP4 completed in about 26s
- ~38.6 MB MP4 completed in about 26-37s
- ~59.2 MB MP4 completed in about 32-34s on the backend
- some ~59.2 MB browser requests still surfaced as frontend 504 while backend logs later showed 200
Treat frontend 504 plus backend 200 as a browser/edge timeout race, not an automatic transcription failure.
For hosted UIs, prefer an async request/polling wrapper for fast mode instead of holding the browser open for the full upstream response.
For larger or less predictable media, prefer batch mode even when the file is still within the formal fast-mode size limit.

Browser Microphone Pattern

scribe does not expose a documented real-time streaming API surface.
If you want a browser microphone experience, use pseudo-streaming:
1. capture microphone audio in short chunks
2. upload each chunk through the async fast-mode wrapper
3. poll for completion
4. append chunk transcripts in sequence
Recommended starting cadence:
- chunk size: 5 seconds
- acceptable range: 5-10 seconds
- in-flight chunk requests: 2-3
This is a practical UI pattern for incremental transcript updates, not a substitute for rtms.
Treat this as a fallback demo pattern, not the preferred production architecture.
It adds repeated upload overhead, chunk-boundary drift, browser codec/container variability, and transcript stitching complexity.
If the user asks for actual live stream ingestion, low-latency continuous media, or server-push media transport, route to ../rtms/SKILL.md instead.

How this issue was made

Source

github.com/anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins, branch main, last pushed 23 September 2026.

Licence

Apache-2.0 — the text of every skill is reproduced unmodified, frontmatter included, under the upstream licence.

Discovery

200 skills found by walking the repository tree for SKILL.md, not by matching a directory convention. 27 distinct layouts observed: bio-research/skills/*/SKILL.md, cowork-plugin-management/skills/*/SKILL.md, customer-support/skills/*/SKILL.md, data/skills/*/SKILL.md, design/skills/*/SKILL.md, engineering/skills/*/SKILL.md, enterprise-search/skills/*/SKILL.md, finance/skills/*/SKILL.md, human-resources/skills/*/SKILL.md, legal/skills/*/SKILL.md, marketing/skills/*/SKILL.md, operations/skills/*/SKILL.md, partner-built/apollo/skills/*/SKILL.md, partner-built/brand-voice/skills/*/SKILL.md, partner-built/common-room/skills/*/SKILL.md, partner-built/slack/skills/*/SKILL.md, partner-built/zoom-plugin/skills/*/SKILL.md, partner-built/zoom-plugin/skills/contact-center/*/SKILL.md, partner-built/zoom-plugin/skills/meeting-sdk/*/SKILL.md, partner-built/zoom-plugin/skills/meeting-sdk/web/*/SKILL.md, partner-built/zoom-plugin/skills/video-sdk/*/SKILL.md, partner-built/zoom-plugin/skills/virtual-agent/*/SKILL.md, partner-built/zoom-plugin/skills/zoom-mcp/*/SKILL.md, pdf-viewer/skills/*/SKILL.md, product-management/skills/*/SKILL.md, productivity/skills/*/SKILL.md, sales/skills/*/SKILL.md.

Issue colours

Resolved from the awesome-design-md registry — hue 39°, chroma 0.113. Two accent tones are generated per issue and each is proven against its own ground before it ships: a single accent that passes AA on both light and dark paper is arithmetically impossible.

Typefaces

Display: Copernicus is not available to us; set in Newsreader.

We never load a typeface at request time from a third-party origin, so a brand face we do not already self-host is substituted rather than fetched.

Heading repairs

1 repair applied to this skill so the document has one h1 and no skipped levels:

Shifted “10 headings” from h1 to h2 so the skill title is the only h1.

Spec compliance

53 editorial notes across 41 of 200 skills. They are printed in the margin of each skill rather than as errors here.

and 31 more.

Images

Images inside a skill come from the upstream repository. Where the author gave no alternative text we mark the image decorative rather than inventing a description — a plausible caption we made up is worse than none for the reader who depends on it.

Marketplace

A plugin manifest is published at .claude-plugin/marketplace.json by Anthropic, declaring 120 plugins. It is read for editorial metadata only — never as the skill index, which is always the repository tree.

Signal

Install counts come from skills.sh. They measure downloads, not quality, and an unranked repository is not an unread one.

Agent surfaces

The whole issue is available as one markdown document at /anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins.md, and each skill at its own .md URL.

Publication

Set by Skills Docs from the source repository. Body text is Literata at the reader’s chosen size and measure; code is Geist Mono. Nothing on this page was written by us except this paragraph.
