Requirements of the Zoom API
Learn the key functional and non-functional requirements for designing the Zoom API, including meeting management, participant control, real-time streaming, recording, security, and scalability. Understand the architecture and design considerations to build a reliable and low-latency video conferencing API.
Introduction to Zoom API
Video conferencing applications such as Zoom, Skype, and Google Meet connect millions of people worldwide, enabling them to sync up and collaborate while working remotely for better performance, trust, and engagement. Zoom provides its users with various operations, which can be performed through a different set of API endpoints. For example, face-to-face meetings, screen sharing, recording meetings, and so on. However, the design of such an API requires a deep understanding of networks and backend systems.
In this chapter, we will explore how Zoom meetings are scheduled, and resources are assigned to facilitate a streaming session across the globe. We will also cover the overall architecture and interactions between different components to design and build an efficient video conferencing API like Zoom.
