About probe-sdk
A reference skill for using Zoom Probe SDK to check device and network readiness before meeting or session workflows. It covers diagnostic lifecycle, reporting, and routing to related SDK guidance when a different workflow is needed.
Key features
- 01Device and network diagnostics
- 02Audio and video checks
- 03Network diagnostic statistics
- 04Readiness reports and gates
- 05Lifecycle and cleanup guidance
Use cases
- 01Pre-join checks before a Meeting SDK flow
- 02Collecting diagnostics for support
- 03Certifying controlled endpoint devices
- 04Checking browser media capabilities

Background reference for preflight diagnostics on user devices and networks before meeting or session workflows.
Official docs:
Reference sample:
Routing Guardrail
- Use Probe SDK when the user needs client-side diagnostics and readiness scoring (device/network/browser capability), not meeting/session join.
- If user needs embedded meeting flows, route to ../meeting-sdk/SKILL.md.
- If user needs custom real-time session UX, route to ../video-sdk/SKILL.md.
- If user needs backend orchestration of events/APIs, chain with ../rivet-sdk/SKILL.md, ../oauth/SKILL.md, and ../rest-api/SKILL.md.

Common Lifecycle Pattern
- Initialize
Prober/Reporter. - Request media permissions and enumerate devices.
- Run targeted diagnostics (
diagnoseAudio,diagnoseVideo). - Run comprehensive network diagnostic (
startToDiagnose) and stream stats to UI. - Produce final report and apply readiness gates.
- Stop/cleanup (
stopToDiagnose,stopToDiagnoseVideo,releaseMediaStream,cleanup).
High-Level Scenarios
- Pre-join diagnostics page before Meeting SDK join action.
- Support workflow that captures structured report for customer troubleshooting.
- Device certification flow for kiosk or controlled endpoint environments.
- Browser capability gating for advanced media features.
See scenarios/high-level-scenarios.md for details.
Chaining
- Meeting pre-join gate: ../meeting-sdk/web/SKILL.md
- Video session readiness gate: ../video-sdk/web/SKILL.md
- Telemetry/report ingestion backend: ../rivet-sdk/SKILL.md + ../rest-api/SKILL.md
Environment Variables
- See references/environment-variables.md for optional
.envkeys and how to source values.
