Question

Can I send each user to separate channels via RTMP? I want to stream multiple participants in a Zoom meeting, with each participant’s audio and video sent to a separate channel using RTMP. Is it possible to configure Zoom to achieve this setup? If not, are there alternative solutions or workflows available? I reviewed the Zoom documentation, changelog, and community resources but couldn’t find information specific to streaming each participant to separate channels using RTMP.

Answer

Currently it’s not possible to receive individual audio and video streams for meeting participants via Zoom’s RTMP streaming. If you want to receive separate audio streams, I’d suggest looking into the Zoom Meeting SDK instead. You can also use RTMS to get audio and video streams.

You can use either the Windows or Linux Meeting SDK to access raw meeting data, including audio and video. Here’s an example Github repo that demonstrates how to access raw video and audio through the Linux Meeting SDK: GitHub - zoom/meetingsdk-linux-raw-recording-sample

Another alternative would be to check out the Recall.ai API. It’s a third party API for meeting recording. We support audio and video capture across multiple platforms via our Meeting Bot API and Desktop Recording SDK. We also enable you to capture the individual audio and video streams in a Zoom meeting.
