Hi @chunsiong.zoom and the rest of the Zoom support team

I have some doubts regarding the new policy for the access to the Webinar SDK and the requirement of publishing the app and be reviewed.

My use case is the following: our company has developed a Windows desktop app and we are integrating the SDK as an extra module of the app for being able to join to a Webinar and share its screen, so the audience can see our UI.

Of course, we were doing the auth process, joining the webinar, etc. and it worked well. The problem with our solution with the new policy is that the webinars are created from external Zoom accounts.

We have tried publishing and requesting the app review, but it has been rejected. Is this use case allowed under the Zoom SDK policy? How could we solve the review issue? (the reason why Zoom has rejected our first attempt)
Thanks in advance!

Another much-needed feature request to share with the community!

Some of you may know about a cool little feature in Zoom called 'Simulive'.

https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0058205

When this feature launched, it merely allowed you to play back a meeting/webinar from your Zoom Cloud repository of recordings. This was cute, but not super useful in our environment, where we frequently need to clean up recordings, make edits, re-arrange Zoom's gawdy layouts where speaker-video overlaps valuable content (another feature request!) etc, before the recordings are ready for distribution. Fairly recently, though, Zoom added the option to Upload Recordings, which permits us to take a fully produced show (edited in Premiere, Avid, etc) and inject this into the Zoom Cloud repo.

^^ Hot Dog! Now we're talking!

So what's the problem?

We're all set to run a delightful Simulive webinar of pre-produced content for scheduled playback for our users (many gathering in conference rooms - Zoom Rooms, specifically) in global offices that may have been asleep when the talks initially took place. But it seems that this seemingly helpful Simulive feature has been implemented in the most useless way imaginable:

Can I join using Zoom Client, which my AV/UC (or in Zoom's view 'IT') department meticulously manages and supports? NO.

OK, but can I join from a Zoom Room and have a one-touch-join experience for a large audience to view a scheduled broadcast? One of those rooms that my AV/UC department has spent time and effort designing? NO.

You can join from a web browser, which you don't have to use for any other Zoom meeting/webinar in your enterprise environement. Something not working? Just submit a ticket to your AV/UC team, who doesn't have to support something like this under any other circumstance.

Yes, I'm salty.

I just don't know why such a conceptually useful feature was released in such a functionally useless way (just kidding - I do - it was easier to implement and devs have not considered how it would actually be used in practice).

Sharing in the hopes that others may also see a need for Simulive for Zoom Rooms and Zoom Client - if this is something you or your org would like, please be sure to submit a formal feature request to Zoom!

The dialog box showing the status/progress of a local Webinar recording is stuck at 99%.  This is being done on a work laptop using a VPN connection to the company network.  The recording is done while on the VPN connection.  But the VPN connection unexpectedly disconnected (losing network connectivity) while the recording was in progress.  The VPN connection has been restored but now it appears that the recording status is stuck at 99%.

There is a temp file (video1239184949.mp4.tmp) on my local drive.  But the file is not "viewable" (even if the ".tmp" is removed from the file name).

Any suggestions / solutions to getting a workable video file?

Hi, 

When a zoom webinar is set up on the account of the host itself (so not f.e. on my account where I add him/her as a host), do they have a 'host link'? 

Going in further with the host link, should I create a Webinar on my own account, where can I find the host link to share? 

Thank you!
