Zoom Meeting SDK Web - Component View

Embeddable Zoom meeting components for flexible integration into any web application. Component View provides Promise-based APIs and customizable UI.

This is the correct web skill for a custom UI around a real Zoom meeting. Do not route to Video SDK unless the user is building a non-meeting custom session product.

Overview

Component View uses ZoomMtgEmbedded.createClient() to create embeddable meeting components within a specific container element.

| Aspect | Details | |--------|---------| | API Object | ZoomMtgEmbedded.createClient() (instance) | | API Style | Promise-based (async/await) | | UI | Embeddable in any container | | Password param | password (lowercase) | | Events | on()/off() | | Best For | Custom layouts, React/Vue/Angular apps |

// Step 1: Create client instance (do once, not on every render!)
const client = ZoomMtgEmbedded.createClient();

async function joinMeeting() {
  try {
    // Step 2: Get container element
    const meetingSDKElement = document.getElementById('meetingSDKElement');

    // Step 3: Initialize client

React Integration

Basic Pattern

import { useEffect, useRef, useState, useCallback } from 'react';
import ZoomMtgEmbedded from '@zoom/meetingsdk/embedded';

type ZoomClient = ReturnType<typeof ZoomMtgEmbedded.createClient>;

function ZoomMeeting({ meetingNumber, password, userName }: Props) {
  const clientRef = useRef<ZoomClient | null>(null);
  const containerRef = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null);
  const [isJoined, setIsJoined] = useState(false);
  const [error, setError] = useState<string | null>(null);

  // Create client once
  useEffect(() => {
    if (!clientRef.current) {
      clientRef.current = ZoomMtgEmbedded.createClient();
    }
  }, []);

  const joinMeeting = useCallback(async () => {
    if (!clientRef.current || !containerRef.current) return;

    try {
      // Get signature from backend
      const { signature, sdkKey } = await fetchSignature(meetingNumber);
      
      await clientRef.current.init({
        zoomAppRoot: containerRef.current,
        language: 'en-US',
        patchJsMedia: true,
        leaveOnPageUnload: true,
      });

      await clientRef.current.join({
        signature,
        sdkKey,
        meetingNumber,
        password,
        userName,
      });

      setIsJoined(true);
    } catch (err) {
      setError(err instanceof Error ? err.message : 'Failed to join');
    }
  }, [meetingNumber, password, userName]);

  return (
    <div>
      <div 
        ref={containerRef} 
        style={{ width: '100%', height: '500px' }} 
      />
      {!isJoined && (
        <button onClick={joinMeeting}>Join Meeting</button>
      )}
      {error && <div className="error">{error}</div>}
    </div>
  );
}

Event Handling in React

useEffect(() => {
  if (!clientRef.current) return;
  
  const handleConnectionChange = (payload: any) => {
    if (payload.state === 'Connected') {
      setIsJoined(true);
    } else if (payload.state === 'Closed') {
      setIsJoined(false);
    }
  };

  const handleUserAdded = (payload: any) => {
    console.log('Users joined:', payload);
  };

  clientRef.current.on('connection-change', handleConnectionChange);
  clientRef.current.on('user-added', handleUserAdded);

  return () => {
    clientRef.current?.off('connection-change', handleConnectionChange);
    clientRef.current?.off('user-added', handleUserAdded);
  };
}, []);

Positioning and Resizing

Initial Size

await client.init({
  zoomAppRoot: element,
  customize: {
    video: {
      viewSizes: {
        default: { width: 1000, height: 600 }
      }
    }
  }
});

Dynamic Resizing

The container element size determines the meeting UI size. To resize:

// Just resize the container
document.getElementById('meetingSDKElement').style.width = '1200px';
document.getElementById('meetingSDKElement').style.height = '800px';

Making it Resizable

customize: {
  video: {
    isResizable: true
  }
}

Supported Features

Component View supports core meeting functionality. Some features from Client View may not be available.

Contact Zoom Developer Support to request additional features.

Error Handling

try {
  await client.join({
    // ... options
  });
} catch (error) {
  // error.reason contains error code
  // error.message contains description
  
  switch (error.reason) {
    case 'WRONG_MEETING_PASSWORD':
      console.error('Incorrect password');
      break;
    case 'MEETING_NOT_START':
      console.error('Meeting has not started');
      break;
    case 'INVALID_PARAMETERS':
      console.error('Invalid join parameters');
      break;
    default:
      console.error('Join failed:', error.message);
  }
}

Comparison with Client View

| Feature | Component View | Client View | |---------|----------------|-------------| | API Style | Promises | Callbacks | | Password param | password | passWord | | Container | Custom element | Auto #zmmtg-root | | UI | Embeddable | Full-page | | Preloading | Not needed | preLoadWasm() | | Language | Init option | i18n.load() | | Events | on()/off() | inMeetingServiceListener() |
