Frequently asked questions

What is the Zoom developer forum?
The Zoom Developer Forum is a community-driven space where developers ask questions, share projects, and collaborate on building with Zoom APIs and SDKs. It's the primary hub for technical discussions and peer-to-peer support.

What is expected from Zoom Developer MVPs?
MVPs are expected to stay active in the community — answering questions, sharing knowledge, and helping fellow developers succeed. There's no fixed quota; we look for consistent, genuine contribution over time rather than a set number of posts.

How long is the Zoom Developer MVP program?
MVP status is granted for a one-year term. Toward the end of each term we review ongoing community activity and contributions to determine renewal, so staying engaged is the best way to keep your status.

Can I nominate someone else for MVP?
Yes. If you know a developer who consistently goes above and beyond in the community, you can nominate them. Our developer advocates review every nomination against the eligibility criteria above.

Does being a Zoom employee affect eligibility?
Current employees of Zoom Communications, Inc. are not eligible for the MVP program, which is designed to recognize external members of the developer community.
