Zoom SDKs
Zoom SDKs, software development kits, are app development libraries which enable you to power your own application with Zoom Meetings, and build new video experiences.
Fully Customizable SDKs
Build rich-featured mobile apps designed to connect communities through highly customized user interfaces and access to raw video & audio data.
Client SDKs
Full-featured libraries provided to enable simple integration of the Zoom platform within mobile or desktop apps.
Comparing Zoom SDKs
The Fully Customizable SDKs introduce a number of different features and considerations when compared to the Client SDKs. Fully Customizable SDK meetings are handled as video sessions and are not connected to Zoom Meetings or Webinars.
Sessions in the Fully Customizable SDKs are joined using the Session Name, and not a Meeting ID. Apps built with these SDKs do not have a default meeting UI, allowing for unique and custom video experiences.
