Zoom Probe SDK

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

Official docs:

• https://developers.zoom.us/docs/probe-sdk/
• https://marketplacefront.zoom.us/sdk/probe/index.html

Reference sample:

• https://github.com/zoom/probesdk-web

Routing Guardrail

• Use Probe SDK when the user needs client-side diagnostics and readiness scoring (device/network/browser capability), not meeting/session join.
• If user needs embedded meeting flows, route to ../meeting-sdk/SKILL.md.
• If user needs custom real-time session UX, route to ../video-sdk/SKILL.md.
• If user needs backend orchestration of events/APIs, chain with ../rivet-sdk/SKILL.md, ../oauth/SKILL.md, and ../rest-api/SKILL.md.

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.

See scenarios/high-level-scenarios.md for details.

Chaining

• Meeting pre-join gate: ../meeting-sdk/web/SKILL.md
• Video session readiness gate: ../video-sdk/web/SKILL.md
• Telemetry/report ingestion backend: ../rivet-sdk/SKILL.md + ../rest-api/SKILL.md

Environment Variables

• See references/environment-variables.md for optional .env keys and how to source values.
