Zoom Meetings

How to create, retrieve, list, and delete Zoom meetings using the Zoom REST API. Use this skill whenever the user mentions Zoom meetings, wants to schedule a meeting, needs meeting details, or asks to manage Zoom calls—even if they don't explicitly say "use the zoom-meeting skill." Supports both natural language requests and structured JSON commands. Always respond with human-readable output (no JSON).

1. Call list_meetings
2. Format results into a readable list

User: "Delete meeting 987654321"

2. Confirm deletion

Structured JSON

Users can pass direct JSON commands:

{
  "action": "create_meeting",
  "topic": "Sprint Planning",
  "start_time": "2026-03-11T14:00:00",
  "duration": 60
}

Parameter Collection

If the user provided incomplete information for creating a meeting, ask clarifying questions:

User: "Create a Zoom meeting"

You: "Sure! What's the meeting topic?"

User: "Team Sync"

You: "When should the meeting start?"

User: "Tomorrow at 2 PM"

You: "What duration? (default: 40 minutes)"

Then create the meeting with collected parameters and defaults.

Output Format

Always return human-readable text only (no JSON):

Example for create_meeting:

✅ Meeting created!

⏰ Start: 2026-03-10T10:00:00
⏱ Duration: 30 min

Error Handling

Handle errors gracefully and return them in readable format:

Authentication failure:

Error: Failed to obtain access token. Check credentials in ~/.openclaw/credentials/zoom.json

Invalid meeting ID:

Error: Meeting 123456789 does not exist or you don't have permission to access it

API error:

Error: Zoom API returned error 429: Rate Limited

Implementation

The skill uses scripts/zoom_api.py for all API interactions. The script handles:

• Loading credentials from file
• OAuth token generation and refresh
• HTTP requests to Zoom API endpoints
• Response parsing and error handling

Key endpoints:

• Create: POST /users/me/meetings
• Get: GET /meetings/{meetingId}
• List: GET /users/me/meetings
• Delete: DELETE /meetings/{meetingId}

Defaults

Parameter	Default
start_time	Current time
duration	40 minutes
timezone	Asia/Almaty

Meeting Creation Rules

• Meetings are always created for /users/me (authenticated user)
• No duplicate detection—each request creates a new meeting
• All meetings are scheduled meetings (type 2)

• references/zoom_api_reference.md - Detailed API documentation, endpoints, and error codes

Design Principles

This skill follows these principles:

• Minimal verbosity - Responses are brief and focused
• Deterministic output - Same input always produces same output structure
• Agent-friendly - Structured responses that AI agents can parse
• Safe credential handling - Never expose credentials in logs or output
• Human-readable output - Always return human-readable text, not JSON
• Local time display - Meeting times are shown in the specified timezone, not UTC

Dependencies

• requests - For HTTP requests to Zoom API
• pytz - For timezone conversions (installed automatically)
