How the upstream workflow works
Core Workflow
⚠️ CRITICAL: Add Windows message loop or callbacks won't fire! See: Windows Message Loop Guide
Upstream passage · L203 ↗How to Implement Any Feature
The SDK has 35+ feature controllers (audio, video, chat, recording, participants, screen sharing, breakout rooms, webinars, Q&A, polling, whiteboard, captions, AI companion, etc.). Universal pattern that works for ALL features: Get the controller (singleton): Implement event listener (observer pattern):
Upstream passage · L644 ↗🚀 Quick Start Path
If you're new to the SDK, follow this order: Read the architecture pattern → concepts/sdk-architecture-pattern.md This teaches you the universal formula that applies to ALL features Once you understand this, you can implement any feature by reading the .h files

Prerequisites
Zoom app with Meeting SDK credentials (Client ID & Secret) Visual Studio 2019/2022 or later
Upstream passage · L43 ↗Limits and quality checks
Important: Include Order
CRITICAL: Include headers in this exact order or you'll get build errors: See: Build Errors Guide for all dependency fixes.

- 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.
