Description
Setup-zoom-websockets is a reference skill for receiving Zoom events over a persistent connection instead of webhooks. It explains when WebSockets are likely to be a better fit, and sets out the differences side by side. WebSockets keep a bidirectional connection open, with lower latency because no new HTTP request is made per event, and they do not require an exposed endpoint. Webhooks are one-time HTTP posts that Zoom sends to your server, which is simpler to set up, while WebSockets need an access token and a connection to be managed. The skill treats the two models as pull versus push and stateful versus stateless, which matters for how you design your server. It is background reference, so it asks you to route to the right workflow first and to use this page to confirm whether a low-latency stream is worth the extra setup. The skill is part of Anthropic's knowledge-work plugins.…

setup-zoom-websockets FAQ
What does the skill compare?
WebSockets and webhooks on connection type, latency, security, delivery model, state and setup effort.
Which one is simpler to set up?
Webhooks, which only need an endpoint URL. WebSockets need an access token and connection management.
Which one has lower latency?
WebSockets, because the connection stays open and no new HTTP request is made for each event.
Who is it for?
Developers building Zoom integrations who need to choose an event delivery method.
How do I install it?
Run npx skills add https://github.com/anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins --skill setup-zoom-websockets in your terminal.
Is it free?
Yes. The skill is listed as free on skills.sh.
What security audits has it passed?
skills.sh lists three audits: Gen Agent Trust Hub Pass, Socket Pass and Snyk Warn. A Warn or Fail is worth reading before you install.
