Choose the right Zoom building surface for your use case and explain the tradeoffs.
What is plan-zoom-product?
This skill helps you select the optimal Zoom integration approach—whether REST API, Webhooks, WebSockets, Meeting SDK, Video SDK, Zoom Apps SDK, Phone, Contact Center, or MCP—for a specific product idea or integration goal. Use it when deciding which Zoom surface best fits your requirements.
- Classifies your use case into categories: automation, embedded meetings, custom video, in-client behavior, event delivery, AI tooling, or support/contact-center work
- Recommends the primary Zoom surface and lists minimum supporting components
- Explains why rejected alternatives are worse for your specific case
- Provides key tradeoffs and constraints for the chosen approach
- Suggests a concrete implementation sequence and next steps

plan-zoom-product FAQ
Use REST API for on-demand operations (create meetings, manage users). Use Webhooks for event-driven automation (react to meeting starts, participant joins).
Meeting SDK provides full meeting UI and controls; Video SDK lets you build custom video experiences from scratch.
Zoom Apps SDK embeds behavior directly in the Zoom client; MCP integrates Zoom with external AI agents and tools.
Use WebSockets only if you need sub-second real-time updates; Webhooks are simpler and sufficient for most event-driven workflows.
The skill provides concrete implementation links; typically you'll move to architecture design or SDK setup based on your chosen surface.
