Covers building custom video sessions into a React Native app with Zoom's React Native Video SDK package. These sessions are not Zoom meetings: people join with tokens your server signs. The skill maps the setup, the join flow, event handling and the helper modules for audio, video, chat, sharing, recording and transcription, with fixes for common problems and version changes.
WHEN TO USE
USE FOR
- Build a branded mobile video app with your own controls.
- Add secure video visits to a telehealth or support app.
- Let an audience or host join a live event from their phone.
- Add transcription, recording or screen sharing to a session.
NOT FOR
- Joining real Zoom meetings: Video SDK sessions are a separate product from Zoom meetings.

Zoom Video SDK (React Native)
Use this skill for React Native apps that need fully custom video session experiences using Zoom Video SDK.

Core Notes
- Video SDK sessions are not Zoom Meetings and use session tokens.
- JWT generation must stay backend-side.
- Wrapper is helper-heavy (audio/video/chat/share/recording/transcription, etc.).
- Event-driven design is required for robust UI state.

2 FOR YOUAll items below are required.
- 01Install with Zoom's plugin, not on its own
Install it as part of the Zoom plugin in Anthropic's Knowledge Work Plugins marketplace, not as a single copied folder. It links to the plugin's Video SDK, Zoom sign-in and general Zoom guides, which a lone copy would not have.
- 02A token server of your own
A backend that signs each session's token, because the Video SDK secret must not live in the app.
Install as a Claude Code plugin
Typed inside the agent's own prompt, not in a terminal. This skill uses files kept elsewhere in its plugin, so install the whole plugin — on its own the skill would be missing them.
