version: "1.0.0" name: choose-zoom-approach description: Choose the right Zoom architecture for a use case. Use when deciding between REST API, Webhooks, WebSockets, Meeting SDK, Video SDK, Zoom Apps SDK, Zoom MCP, Phone, Contact Center, or a hybrid approach. user-invocable: false
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
