The check-your-camera-mic-and-connection screen people go through before a Zoom call — how to build it, and what to do with what it finds.

🔥🔥✓ VerifiedFreeQuick setup
🧩 One of 177 skills in the anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins package — works on its own, and pairs well with its siblings.

WHEN YOUR AGENT SHOULD USE IT

A QUICK BOUNDARY

USE FOR

  • Stop someone joining a meeting until their camera and mic actually work.
  • Capture a structured diagnostic report for support to troubleshoot call quality.
  • Certify the cameras and mics on shared meeting-room or kiosk machines.
  • Turn off a video feature when the person's browser cannot handle it.

DO NOT USE FOR

  • Embedded meeting join flows — route to the Meeting SDK skill instead.
  • Custom real-time video session UX — route to the Video SDK skill instead.

This is the playbook your agent receives when the skill activates — you don't need to read it to use the skill, but it's here to audit before installing.

Zoom Probe SDK

Background reference for preflight diagnostics on user devices and networks before meeting or session workflows.

Common Lifecycle Pattern

  1. Initialize Prober / Reporter.
  2. Request media permissions and enumerate devices.
  3. Run targeted diagnostics (diagnoseAudio, diagnoseVideo).
  4. Run comprehensive network diagnostic (startToDiagnose) and stream stats to UI.
  5. Produce final report and apply readiness gates.
  6. Stop/cleanup (stopToDiagnose, stopToDiagnoseVideo, releaseMediaStream, cleanup).

High-Level Scenarios

  • Pre-join diagnostics page before Meeting SDK join action.
  • Support workflow that captures structured report for customer troubleshooting.
  • Device certification flow for kiosk or controlled endpoint environments.
  • Browser capability gating for advanced media features.
