SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Prepare client-side readiness checks for Zoom meetings by validating media permissions, available devices, network conditions, and browser capability before joining.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Prober/Reporter orchestration enabling targeted audio/video diagnostics and network testing.
  • Pre-join readiness gating for meetings and video sessions; useful for support triage and analytics.
  • Roadmap integration with other Zoom SDK workflows (Meeting SDK, Video SDK, and backend tooling) to streamline prejoin decisions.

Quick Start

Run Probe diagnostics on the client to determine device, network, and browser readiness before joining a Zoom meeting.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run preflight device and network diagnostics before joining a Zoom meeting?

Preflight diagnostics validate client-side readiness by checking media permissions, available devices, network conditions, and browser capability before session workflows. The Probe SDK orchestrates audio, video, and network testing via Prober and Reporter APIs.

What client-side readiness checks are needed for video session preparation?

Client-side readiness checks for video sessions require validating media device availability, network connectivity, and browser capability. This ensures users meet pre-join gate requirements and prevents session failures caused by missing permissions or unsupported environments.

Do I need Zoom marketplace credentials to run browser readiness diagnostics?

No Zoom marketplace credentials are required for core browser readiness diagnostics. The Probe SDK operates independently using Prober and Reporter APIs, with optional environment variable overrides for runtime assets, simplifying pre-join testing.

Can I use probe-sdk for support triage workflows in web apps?

Yes, the Probe SDK supports support triage workflows in web apps by diagnosing device, network, and browser readiness. It identifies client-side issues during pre-join gates, helping support teams pinpoint media permission or connectivity problems.

How does pre-join readiness gating work with the Meeting SDK and Video SDK?

Pre-join readiness gating integrates with Zoom Meeting SDK and Video SDK workflows to streamline prejoin decisions. The Probe SDK diagnoses client capabilities first, allowing downstream session workflows to proceed only when browser and network conditions are validated.

What are the limitations of using browser diagnostics for video session preparation?

Browser diagnostics for video session preparation are limited to client-side checks of devices, network conditions, and browser capability. They do not diagnose server-side issues or backend session states, focusing solely on pre-join readiness validation before meeting workflows.
