.@Zoom came up with super cool new Video SDK. Time to give it a try.

marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/video…

If you think about it, this looks like Zoom take on Agora.
Both now has SDKs, let's see which one is more easier to implement. Should be fun article to write: "Zoom or Agora SDK for your next Clubhouse like startup" 😄

Starting off strong:

I have successfully created account to access Zoom SDK, time to test it now.

Fixed issues of signing on the sample project, trying it right now on actual device.

Houston we have a contact!

So far authentication has been an issue, Zoom requires for developers to build their own JWT authentication, to my knowledge Agora does not. My mockup of JWT token, still doesn't work even tho, it has been created by Zoom docs standard. Investigating this further...

What is worth mentioning is, that Error messages in this SDK are badly done. No one likes seeing error code instead of actual message.

This means, nothing to end developer.
Real definition of these error messages are here:
marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/nativ…

Even though this shares narrative from separate SDK, I'm pretty sure error codes are the same.

Found error codes for Video SDK:
marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/video…

Success: I’m using SDK to engage in the call. Issue with appToken was in my JWT being wrongly formed based on value types. 🎉

Have in mind that sample project is in Objective-C. It's clean and compact, so that's another plus.

Screenshots of sample app from Zoom.

OpenGL rendering and Metal render examples are included in the sample project.
