Video Sdk/web
Fast Routing Questions (Ask First)
- Platform: Web vs React Native vs Flutter vs Linux
- UI style: UI Toolkit vs Custom UI
- What you are building: 1:1 call, group session, audio-only room, screen share, recording, etc.
- Inputs you have:
sdkKey, sdkSecret (server only), topic, userName, password, signature
- Signatures must be generated server-side (do not ship
sdkSecret to clients).
- Confirm signature expiry and clock skew if joins fail.
Developers frequently call APIs out of order.
client = ZoomVideo.createClient()await client.init(...)await client.join(...)stream = client.getMediaStream() (only after join)await stream.startVideo() / await stream.startAudio()
- “Why is remote video not showing?”
- “How do I render self-view / peer video?”
- Emphasize event-driven rendering (listen for
user-added, peer-video-state-change, etc.)
- Prefer
attachVideo() / detachVideo() where supported (Web)
- retrieving errors/logs from UI Toolkit
- capturing images/snapshots in Toolkit
- detecting screen sharing when using Toolkit
- Confirm the UI Toolkit version + SDK version
- Clarify which surfaces the Toolkit abstracts vs what requires underlying SDK APIs
- permissions (camera/mic)
- native build issues
- background/foreground behavior
- audio routing and device disconnects
- Ask for platform version + SDK wrapper version
- Ask for minimal reproduction steps and logs
