Select the optimal Zoom integration approach for a given task

  • Solves the problem of choosing the right Zoom architecture for specific use cases
  • Leverages Zoom APIs, SDKs, and services like REST API, Webhooks, Meeting SDK, and Video SDK
  • Uses a decision framework mapping problem types to the smallest correct Zoom surface
  • Delivers a recommended path with supporting components and next implementation steps

# Choose Zoom Approach

Pick the smallest correct Zoom surface for the job, then layer in only the supporting pieces that are actually required.

## Decision Framework

| Problem Type | Primary Zoom Surface |
|---|---|
| Deterministic backend automation, account management, reporting, scheduled jobs | [rest-api](../rest-api/SKILL.md) |
| Event delivery to your backend | [webhooks](../webhooks/SKILL.md) or [websockets](../websockets/SKILL.md) |
| Embed Zoom meetings into your app | [meeting-sdk](../meeting-sdk/SKILL.md) |
| Build a fully custom video experience | [video-sdk](../video-sdk/SKILL.md) |
| Build inside the Zoom client | [zoom-apps-sdk](../zoom-apps-sdk/SKILL.md) |
| Real-time media extraction or meeting bots | [rtms](../rtms/SKILL.md) plus [meeting-sdk](../meeting-sdk/SKILL.md) when needed |
| Phone workflows | [phone](../phone/SKILL.md) |
| Contact Center or Virtual Agent flows | [contact-center](../contact-center/SKILL.md) or [virtual-agent](../virtual-agent/SKILL.md) |

## Guardrails

- Do not recommend Video SDK when the user actually needs Zoom meeting semantics.
- Do not recommend Meeting SDK when the user needs a fully custom session product.
- Keep deterministic backend automation in REST APIs and event-driven code.

## What To Produce

- One recommended path
- Minimum supporting components
- Hard constraints and tradeoffs
- Immediate next implementation step

SkillDescription
accessibility-and-inclusive-visualizationMake data visualizations accessible and inclusive. Use when the user needs chart or diagram accessibility guidance, text alternatives for complex visuals, color and contrast review, keyboard support, reduced-motion behavior for animation or parallax, or an accessibility QA workflow for exported figures, UML-like diagrams, and dashboards.
agent-browserBrowser automation CLI for AI agents. Use when the user needs to interact with websites, verify dev server output, test web apps, navigate pages, fill forms, click buttons, take screenshots, extract data, or automate any browser task. Also triggers when a dev server starts so you can verify it visually.
agent-browser-verifyAutomated browser verification for dev servers. Triggers when a dev server starts to run a visual gut-check with agent-browser — verifies the page loads, checks for console errors, validates key UI elements, and reports pass/fail before continuing.
agents-sdkBuild AI agents on Cloudflare Workers using the Agents SDK. Load when creating stateful agents, durable workflows, real-time WebSocket apps, scheduled tasks, MCP servers, or chat applications. Covers Agent class, state management, callable RPC, Workflows integration, and React hooks. Biases towards retrieval from Cloudflare docs over pre-trained knowledge.
ai-elementsAI Elements component library guidance — pre-built React components for AI interfaces built on shadcn/ui. Use when building chat UIs, message displays, tool call rendering, streaming responses, reasoning panels, or any AI-native interface with the AI SDK.
ai-gatewayVercel AI Gateway expert guidance. Use when configuring model routing, provider failover, cost tracking, or managing multiple AI providers through a unified API.
ai-generation-persistenceAI generation persistence patterns — unique IDs, addressable URLs, database storage, and cost tracking for every LLM generation
ai-sdkVercel AI SDK expert guidance. Use when building AI-powered features — chat interfaces, text generation, structured output, tool calling, agents, MCP integration, streaming, embeddings, reranking, image generation, or working with any LLM provider.
