Zoom SDK integration for partner platform - Built.
We faced multiple challenges integrating the Zoom application with our attendance platform, especially given how frequently Zoom alters its API and presentation of information. This feature has been in use since 2021, and the inconsistencies have required us to adapt continuously. Zoom's product sometimes feels unfinished, and changes they've made can unexpectedly disrupt our integration.To host a Zoom event, users on our platform must first create a private app within their Zoom account. This isn't a public app, so they copy the SDK key and secret into our platform. Once they set up their event, they include the Zoom meeting ID and any necessary passwords. Attendees can then join the meeting directly from our event site. We also implemented Zoom webhooks to track participant attendance, giving admins insights into who joined each event.
