Zoom Video SDK for Web - JavaScript/TypeScript integration for browser-based video sessions, real-time communication, screen sharing, recording, and live transcription
How the upstream workflow works
Video Processor (Custom Effects)
The VideoProcessor class allows you to intercept and modify video frames:
Quick Start Path
If you're new to the SDK, follow this order: Read the architecture pattern → concepts/sdk-architecture-pattern.md Universal formula: Create Client → Init → Join → Get Stream → Use Once you understand this, you can implement any feature
Upstream passage · L602 ↗SDK Overview
The Zoom Video SDK for Web is a JavaScript library that provides: Session Management: Join/leave video SDK sessions Video/Audio: Start/stop camera and microphone Screen Sharing: Share screens or browser tabs
Upstream passage · L45 ↗Requirements and setup
System Requirements
Modern Browser: Chrome 80+, Firefox 75+, Safari 14+, Edge 80+ Video SDK Credentials: SDK Key and Secret from Marketplace
Upstream passage · L62 ↗Browser Compatibility
Virtual background not supported Screen sharing requires macOS 15+
Upstream passage · L529 ↗// Check browser compatibility before init
const compatibility = ZoomVideo.checkSystemRequirements();
console.log('Audio:', compatibility.audio);
console.log('Video:', compatibility.video);
console.log('Screen:', compatibility.screen);
// Check feature support
const features = ZoomVideo.checkFeatureRequirements();
console.log('Supported:', features.supportFeatures);
console.log('Unsupported:', features.unSupportFeatures);Limits and quality checks
No separate limits passage was selected from this file. This does not mean the Skill is safe for every input or environment. Review the complete source and validate your own result.
Start with a safe trial
- Check the supported host and the repository installation instructions. Keep the Skill directory and its referenced scripts, assets and documentation together; SKILL.md alone may omit dependencies.
- Give the agent your real input, desired output and acceptance criteria. Invocation syntax and available tools depend on the host; this site does not assume a universal install command.
- Try the source workflow in a disposable project or on a copy. Review operations that change files, remote services or billable resources before allowing them.
- Validate the output against the source quality checks and your own requirements. A successful trigger or a high repository Star count does not establish a correct result.
