What’s New and What’s Coming for Zoom Marketplace in 2020?

Highlights of what Zoom recently released for Marketplace users and developers, as well as a few important roadmap items for you…

What’s New on Zoom Marketplace?

You may have noticed some changes to the Zoom App Marketplace released over the past few months, but here’s a recap of a few of the important items…in case you missed them:

• New Categories for Your Published Marketplace Apps — To help our customers find your app, we added new functional app categories. Review our best practice documentation about putting together your app page and to determine the right category for your app!
• New App URLs for Published Apps — If you have published apps, or are considering publishing apps to Zoom Marketplace. In addition to the Support URL and Privacy Policy URL…now you can include Terms of Use and App Documentation URLs to so potential customers have more information and resources about your Zoom Marketplace app!
• Multiple Event Subscriptions for Apps —Released in December 2019, is a really handy solution for defining multiple webhook event subscriptions (each with unique events and endpoints) within a single app. No more do you have to build and maintain a bunch of different webhook apps to point different events to different event consumers!
• New Features for Admins on Marketplace — Enhanced Pre-Approval Permission settings, User-Managed App Update Email Notifications, Webhook Logs for your app, and visibility into what apps have been installed on your Zoom account are the biggest features for Admins on Zoom App Marketplace (but they’re handy features for developers too)!
• Draft/Development Apps shown in Installed Apps — My favorite new feature. Now, you can view, install, and uninstall in-development apps using Zoom Marketplace to test that your Deauthorization Event Consumer is operating as expected to be sure your app is honoring the Data Compliance API.

What’s on the Roadmap for Developers?

Here are some of the most important roadmap items for developers…

• Zoom Developer Survey Closes —On February 28th, 2020 the Zoom Developer Survey will close and no new submissions will be accepted. Make your voice heard, and complete the Zoom Developer Survey now!
• New API Rate Limits coming March 2020 — Demand for our APIs have been growing so fast, we had to revamp the way we handle rate limits so we can scale with all of our customers and still provide our world-class REST API for developers and customers! Read all about the new V2 REST API Rate Limits!
• V2 API Breaking Changes — In March 2020, the “List Users API” will no longer SORT the email list returned in successful responses, and the account owner will not be returned in the first-page of response data.
• End of Life for ALL V1 APIs — In April 26, 2020, Zoom is terminating the V1 API FOREVER! If you are using ANY Zoom APIs that DO NOT have “/v2” in the path, then you are using V1 APIs, and in April 26, 2020 these will no longer work. You MUST migrate your V1 API code to use the V2 API NOW to prevent any potential business disruption or loss of data.
