Zoom Realtime Media Streams (RTMS) for accessing live audio, video, and transcripts
from Zoom meetings. WebSocket-based protocol using open web standards. Use when building
AI/ML applications, live transcription, or real-time meeting analysis.

Zoom Realtime Media Streams (RTMS)

Access live audio, video, and transcript data from Zoom meetings in real-time.

Prerequisites

• Zoom app with RTMS feature enabled
• Webhook endpoint for meeting.rtms_started event
• Server to receive WebSocket streams

How It Works

1. Meeting starts with RTMS enabled
         ↓
2. Zoom sends `meeting.rtms_started` webhook
         ↓
3. Your server connects via WebSocket
         ↓
4. Receive real-time audio/video/transcript streams

Quick Start

// Handle RTMS webhook
app.post('/webhook', (req, res) => {
  const { event, payload } = req.body;

  if (event === 'meeting.rtms_started') {
    const { server_urls, rtms_stream_id, signature } = payload;

    // Connect to RTMS WebSocket
    const ws = new WebSocket(server_urls);

    ws.on('message', (data) => {
      // Process audio/video/transcript data
      console.log('Received media data');
    });
  }

  res.status(200).send();
});
