Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Video communication creates endless possibilities for engagement and collaboration, which is why we released our Video Software Development Kit (SDK). Our Video SDK enables developers to leverage Zoom’s industry-leading HD video, audio, and interactive features to build video-based applications and desktop experiences with native user interfaces.
With the ability to build the reliability and scale-ready performance of Zoom’s video-first unified communications platform into their products and applications, second and third party developers are able to leverage our Video SDK to create new and exciting experiences that drive customer engagement and provide new opportunities for revenue, without being tied to the Zoom Meetings user interface.
The future of customer engagement
Video-based customer experiences will play an increasingly large role in customer engagement as we move into the future. According to industry analyst Zeus Kerravala, “Video usage is at an all-time high. The next wave of video-based experiences will be driven by embedding video directly into business and consumer applications that seamlessly improve workflows and enhance social interaction. Zoom’s Video SDKs are easy to work with, and enable nimble development of fully customizable video-based applications.”
Let’s take a look a few of the potential types of experiences that developers can build using our Video SDK:
Social - Developers can integrate Zoom’s functionality into social media applications to create reliable and engaging communications experiences, such as on-the-go live streaming with interactive chat.
Gaming - Using Zoom’s HD video and audio and interactive features, developers can build desktop gaming apps that offer new opportunities for audience engagement.
Retail - Organizations can leverage our interactive features to create unique shopping experiences that are tailored to the customer and drive revenue.
Using our Video SDK, developers can enhance their customers’ experience, creating applications and functionalities that reduce friction in the user experience, provide opportunities for audience engagement, and improve accessibility.
As an example of what’s possible with our Video SDK, Lingmo, a cloud-based AI translation software provider, leveraged our Video SDK to build Lingmo Captions, which provides instant translated captions for meetings. This application not only enables communication between people who speak different languages, but also enhances the user experience by providing additional opportunities for engagement.
“Zoom’s fully customizable Video SDK was a good fit for us because it worked seamlessly with our technology and enabled us to assist enterprise customers in a new way. Zoom’s Video SDK allowed us to accelerate the development of our solution, and gave us the flexibility to enhance our product offering for our customers.” - Danny May, CEO & Co-Founder, Lingmo International.

Our Video SDK is a critical component of the Zoom Developer Platform, which allows service providers and developers to build apps & integrations on top of Zoom’s unified communications platform and bring video, voice, content sharing, chat, and more to their applications.
We built this platform with developers’ needs and goals in mind, creating a centralized source for discovery of our developer solutions & tools, easy access to our dedicated support infrastructure and developer community resources, and opportunities for global distribution.
The Zoom Developer Platform includes:
