How to use the zoom timer app

data security

During Zoom meetings, users can open the application and view the timer in the participant’s video using the zoomapp:inmeeting scope. The app does not pass on any personal data to third parties.

It is recommended that you check out the full list of Zoom Apps SDK methods this app can access:

• setVirtualForeground – The timer can be demonstrated to meeting participants by adding an image to the foreground of their video to provide a visual representation of the timer.
• removeVirtualForeground – A method that allows you to remove an image from the foreground of the user’s video that was set from the user’s video using setVirtualForeground.
• onMyMediaChange – The app will receive notifications when a user’s video settings are changed, e.g. B. when the user enables or disables video and when the user mutes or unmutes the sound.
• Note: A request for this event is made by the app to ensure the clock is displayed with the correct dimensions and aspect ratio in relation to the user’s video stream.
