Zoom Web SDK

Important Notices:

1) It is strongly recommended to upgrade to version 1.7.7 before May 30th. Otherwise version 1.7.6 and below will no longer be operational. Using Web SDK 1.7.6 or below you will be able to join meetings but you will not be able to access audio, video, screen sharing, chat, or closed caption.

2) As of version 1.7.9, we will be including reCaptcha feature for joining meetings, please ensure that your application is running on ports 80 or 443

The Zoom Web SDK NPM package is for implementing the Zoom Web SDK with a frontend framework like React or Angular that uses webpack / babel.

Installation

In your frontend project, install the Web SDK:

$ npm install @zoomus/websdk --save

Usage

In the component file where you want to use the Web SDK, import ZoomMtg and call the preLoadWasm() and prepareJssdk() functions.

import { ZoomMtg } from '@zoomus/websdk';

ZoomMtg.preLoadWasm();
ZoomMtg.prepareJssdk();

NOTE: The following directory (already in node_modules) must be accessible in your url path:

• node_modules/@zoomus/websdk/dist/lib/

Or, you can set a custom path to the Web SDK's lib directory using:

ZoomMtg.setZoomJSLib('http://localhost:9999/custom/path/to/lib/', '/av')

NOTE: The following files (already in node_modules) must be globally accessible (equivalent of link and script tag in index.html):

• node_modules/@zoomus/websdk/dist/css/bootstrap.css
• node_modules/@zoomus/websdk/dist/css/react-select.css
• node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js

Set the config variables (reference below):

// setup your signautre endpoint here: https://github.com/zoom/websdk-sample-signature-node.js
var signatureEndpoint = 'http://localhost:4000'
var apiKey = 'JWT_API_KEY'
var meetingNumber = 123456789
var role = 0
var leaveUrl = 'http://localhost:9999'
var userName = 'WebSDK'
var userEmail = ''
var passWord = ''

Config variables reference:

Variable	Description
signatureEndpoint	Required, the endpoint url that returns a signature. Get a signature endpoint here.

Then init, and join the meeting.

ZoomMtg.init({
  leaveUrl: leaveUrl,
  isSupportAV: true,
  success: (success) => {
    console.log(success)

    ZoomMtg.join({
      signature: signature,
      meetingNumber: meetingNumber,
      userName: userName,
      apiKey: apiKey,
      userEmail: userEmail,
      passWord: passWord,
      success: (success) => {
        console.log(success)
      },
      error: (error) => {

      }
    })

  },
