What it does

Zoom is an agent skill from glebis/claude-skills. Create and manage Zoom meetings and access cloud recordings via the Zoom API. Use for queries like "create a Zoom meeting", "list my Zoom meetings", "show my Zoom recordings", or "schedule a meeting for tomorrow".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts (for example `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, `README.md` and `scripts/zoom_meetings.py`).

It sits in Backend & APIs. It works with Zoom. The repository describes itself as: Collection of Claude Code skills for enhanced AI workflows. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Queries like create a Zoom meeting
  • List my Zoom meetings
  • Show my Zoom recordings
  • Schedule a meeting for tomorrow

Example prompts

  • “create a Zoom meeting”
  • “list my Zoom meetings”
  • “show my Zoom recordings”
  • “/zoom”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET
  • A credential in CLIENT_SECRET

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Go to marketplace.zoom.us → Develop → Build App
  2. Select Server-to-Server OAuth
  3. Name it (e.g., "Claude Zoom Meetings")
  4. Copy Account ID, Client ID, Client Secret
  5. Add scopes
  6. Activate the app
  7. Save credentials

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7524dff. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3
    • pip

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • zoom.us

    Also links to:

    • marketplace.zoom.us
    • developers.zoom.us

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • CLIENT_SECRET

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Zoom loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 363 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Zoom Skill

Manage Zoom meetings and cloud recordings via the Zoom API.

Features

  • Meetings: List, create, update, delete scheduled meetings
  • Recordings: List cloud recordings with transcripts, summaries, and download links

Note: All times passed to create/update commands are interpreted as local time. The script auto-detects your timezone if not explicitly specified with --timezone.

Prerequisites

This skill uses two authentication methods:

FeatureAuth TypeCredentials File
MeetingsServer-to-Server OAuth~/.zoom_credentials/credentials.json
RecordingsUser OAuth (General App)~/.zoom_credentials/oauth_token.json

Check status:

bash
python3 scripts/zoom_meetings.py setup

Setup

Part 1: Server-to-Server OAuth (for Meetings)
  1. Go to marketplace.zoom.us → Develop → Build App
  2. Select Server-to-Server OAuth
  3. Name it (e.g., "Claude Zoom Meetings")
  4. Copy Account ID, Client ID, Client Secret
  5. Add scopes:
    • meeting:read:meeting:admin
    • meeting:read:list_meetings:admin
    • meeting:write:meeting:admin
    • user:read:user:admin
  6. Activate the app
  7. Save credentials:
bash
mkdir -p ~/.zoom_credentials
cat > ~/.zoom_credentials/credentials.json << 'EOF'
{
  "account_id": "YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID",
  "client_id": "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
  "client_secret": "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET"
}
EOF
Part 2: General App OAuth (for Recordings)

Server-to-Server apps cannot access cloud recordings. You need a separate General App:

  1. Go to marketplace.zoom.us → Develop → Build App
  2. Select General App
  3. Set redirect URL: http://localhost:8888/callback
  4. Copy Client ID and Client Secret
  5. Add scopes:
    • cloud_recording:read:list_user_recordings
    • cloud_recording:read:list_recording_files
  6. Activate the app
  7. Authorize (one-time browser flow):
bash
# Open this URL in browser (replace CLIENT_ID):
https://zoom.us/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID&redirect_uri=http://localhost:8888/callback

# After authorizing, you'll be redirected to:
# http://localhost:8888/callback?code=AUTHORIZATION_CODE

# Exchange the code for tokens (replace values):
python3 -c "
import requests, json
resp = requests.post('https://zoom.us/oauth/token',
    auth=('CLIENT_ID', 'CLIENT_SECRET'),
    data={'grant_type': 'authorization_code', 'code': 'AUTH_CODE', 'redirect_uri': 'http://localhost:8888/callback'})
data = resp.json()
data['client_id'] = 'CLIENT_ID'
data['client_secret'] = 'CLIENT_SECRET'
data['expires_at'] = __import__('time').time() + data.get('expires_in', 3600)
with open(__import__('pathlib').Path.home() / '.zoom_credentials/oauth_token.json', 'w') as f:
    json.dump(data, f, indent=2)
print('Saved!')

Known Pitfalls

  • join_before_host is account-level. This setting is locked at the Zoom account admin level. Setting it via API per-meeting is silently ignored if the account setting overrides it. Must change in Zoom admin settings (Security → "Allow participants to join before host") first, then API calls respect it.
  • Waiting room overrides join-before-host. If waiting room is enabled at account level, join_before_host won't work even if the API accepts it.

Can I use Zoom in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add glebis/claude-skills --skill zoom -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/zoom, .gemini/skills/zoom, .github/skills/zoom and .opencode/skills/zoom in your project.

What does Zoom need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Zoom needs Python for the scripts in its folder, the command-line tools its instructions call (python3 and pip) and credentials named CLIENT_SECRET. Our summary lists: Python 3; A credential in YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET; A credential in CLIENT_SECRET.

Does Zoom access the network?

SKILL.md names 3 domains. In commands or code: zoom.us; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. As links in the text: marketplace.zoom.us and developers.zoom.us. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Zoom safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Zoom use?

Zoom is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Zoom use?

About 1.8k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
