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 | | Event delivery to your backend | webhooks or websockets | | Embed Zoom meetings into your app | meeting-sdk | | Build a fully custom video experience | video-sdk | | Build inside the Zoom client | zoom-apps-sdk | | AI-agent tool workflows over Zoom data | zoom-mcp | | Real-time media extraction or meeting bots | rtms plus meeting-sdk when needed | | Phone workflows | phone | | Contact Center or Virtual Agent flows | contact-center or virtual-agent |
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.
- Do not replace deterministic backend automation with MCP-only guidance.
- Prefer hybrid
rest-api + zoom-mcpwhen the user needs both stable system actions and AI-driven discovery.
What To Produce
- One recommended path
- Minimum supporting components
- Hard constraints and tradeoffs
- Immediate next implementation step
