Question

Can a bot using single Zoom SDK credential join multiple meetings simultaneously? I created a Zoom bot using the Zoom SDK that joins a meeting, captures raw audio, and converts it into text (live transcript). I want to know if it’s possible for a single set of Zoom SDK credentials to allow the bot to join multiple meetings simultaneously. If that's not possible can I run multiple instances of the bot using a single set of Zoom SDK credentials to join multiple Zoom meetings at the same time?

Answer

A single bot cannot join multiple Zoom meetings simultaneously. However, you can spin up multiple bots that can join different meetings. All of these bots can use the same underlying set of Zoom SDK credentials to join these meetings.

If you want to join multiple meetings concurrently, then you’ll need to create multiple bots to join these meetings, but you’ll only need a single set of Zoom SDK credentials.

If you don't want to manage all of the concurrent bots that you will need, check out Recall.ai. It’s a third party API for meeting recording. We support recording in multiple form factors, through our Meeting Bot API and Desktop Recording SDK.
