Zoom has started to increase throughout these past years as more and more people have begun using the app for schools and meetings. As the company grows, it has allowed developers to use their software in their applications. The company has created a development kit that will enable developers to efficiently import zoom's video and voice features into their software.
Zoom Development Kit
On Tuesday, March 23, Zoom has released a new Software Development Kit (SDK) to allow developers to build Zoom into their software.
According to TheVerge, Zoom has allowed developers to build their video-based applications and websites using the companies platform.
The SDK will also let developers add Zoom's features to their development kit with relative ease and quickness. With this new system, developers won't have to spend hours making their video and voice applications when Zoom already has them covered.
The business wants to expand its application to many different avenues: social media, video games, or even virtual retail apps. Zoom wants its program to be included in every app that uses video and voice to communicate to its audience.
Aside that, the app also wants people to use their video SDK to drive more engagement and provide them with new revenue opportunities without opting for the Zoom meeting interface.
They want people to stray away from the usual zoom meeting and have their chatting service to connect with customers or potential partners to grow their applications.
Zoom future goals
Zoom says that the SDK is simply a broader push to quickly and easily get its platform into developers' hands. The company will be rolling out a centralized portal where developers find out how to download the SDK. Here they will also find out ways they can use the SDK and learn more about it.
Developers can also monitor how their users use the new zoom features from the new Analytical Dashboard Feature. New features like these are great for developers to keep track of features that keep their users engage and which don't.
TechCrunch says that Zoom was forced to scale up its operations due to covid. A lot more people had begun to work from home, causing this massive amounts of people to use the application in the first few months.
The company says that it has an unprecedented amount of free participants in the beginning months of the pandemic alone.
Although they had to upscale, they have also been hard at work improving and adding new tools to their software to keep pace with its competitors like Google Meet.
Zoom continues to add new features such as facial effects and security updates, and more to come in the future.
