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:

| Feature | Auth Type | Credentials File |

|---------|-----------|------------------|

| Meetings | Server-to-Server OAuth | ~/.zoom_credentials/credentials.json |

| Recordings | User OAuth (General App) | ~/.zoom_credentials/oauth_token.json |

Check status:

python3 scripts/zoom_meetings.py setup

Setup

Part 1: Server-to-Server OAuth (for Meetings)

Go to marketplace.zoom.us → Develop → Build App
Select Server-to-Server OAuth
Name it (e.g., "Claude Zoom Meetings")
Copy Account ID, Client ID, Client Secret
Add scopes:
meeting:read:meeting:admin
meeting:read:list_meetings:admin
meeting:write:meeting:admin
user:read:user:admin
Activate the app
Save credentials:

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:

Go to marketplace.zoom.us → Develop → Build App
Select General App
Set redirect URL: http://localhost:8888/callback
Copy Client ID and Client Secret
Add scopes:
cloud_recording:read:list_user_recordings
cloud_recording:read:list_recording_files
Activate the app
Authorize (one-time browser flow):

# 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!')

Files

| File | Purpose |

|------|---------|

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.

Capture Tasks From Meeting Notes

by openai

vendor ×1

Analyze meeting notes to find action items and create Jira tasks for assigned work. When an agent needs to: (1) Create Jira tasks or tickets from meeting notes, (2) Extract or find action items from notes or Confluence pages, (3) Parse meeting notes for assigned tasks, or (4) Analyze notes and generate tasks for team members. Identifies assignees, looks up account IDs, and creates tasks with proper context.

When the user wants to optimize post-signup onboarding, user activation, first-run experience, or time-to-value. Also use when the user mentions "onboarding flow," "activation rate," "user activation," "first-run experience," "empty states," "onboarding checklist," "aha moment," or "new user experience." For signup/registration optimization, see signup-flow-cro. For ongoing email sequences, see email-sequence.

Prepare for tomorrow''s meetings and tasks. Pulls calendar from Outlook via WorkIQ, cross-references open tasks and workspace context, classifies meetings, detects conflicts and day-fit issues, finds learning and deep-work slots, and generates a structured HTML prep file with productivity recommendations.

Add Gcal Tool

by nanocoai

Add Google Calendar as an MCP tool (list calendars, list/search/create events, free/busy queries) using OneCLI-managed OAuth. Multi-calendar and multi-account supported. Mirrors /add-gmail-tool's stub pattern — no raw credentials ever reach the container; OneCLI injects real tokens at request time.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take glebis/zoom from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference pip. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
