FAQ (How it works)
What Is the Zoom Video Call SDK?
Zoom's Video Call SDK will allow developers to integrate Zoom’s video call functionality into their own applications.

- 1. Easy for you to get started with 10x less lines of code.
- 2. Compatible with all browsers and devices.
- 3. Free 10,000 mins every month, and only pay at scale.
Does Zoom Video SDK support full HD video?
No, the Zoom SDK does not support the mixing of Full HD and HD resolutions. Support is limited to 360p (SD video).
What is the difference between Zoom Video SDK and meeting SDK?
The Meeting SDK is the Zoom UI embedded in your application, whereas the Video SDK is merely the audio/video data. As a result, it is easier to integrate with your project and create a UI around. If you require something other than a Zoom conference, the Video SDK is frequently an excellent solution.
Is Zoom Safe & Secure?
The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has discovered many vulnerabilities in Zoom. While one vulnerability may allow an unauthorised remote attacker to join a Zoom conference, another may allow a remote hacker to download audio and video from meetings they are not permitted to attend if exploited. All of these vulnerabilities have been reported to Zoom, and CERT-In advises that you update to the most recent version of the programme to avoid any potential attacks that may exploit them.
Why customers love Video SDK?
"Video SDK is a great product that is cost-effective and has many features (and is adding new features rapidly too). We compared many video solutions but found Video SDK to be the best. In addition, they listen to their customers' feature requests and also have great customer support."

Cofounder at ForagerOne
"We're using Video SDK for a while for our live streaming features."
