Bringing the power of Zoom to the React Native community

While most of our work centers around the usual app development process (screens, components, styles), our project with Zoom was unique – it focused on the developer experience. Rather than asking ourselves questions like: is it easy to get from this screen to that one? We asked ourselves: Is the documentation clear? Is this easy for a developer to understand?
‍

‍Our team of software engineers at Infinite Red spent extra time in code documentation so that it would be clear, easy-to-follow, and could help guide a developer through the process of connecting Zoom’s Video SDK to their own React Native app. But, in order to fully visualize the power of this Video SDK within their own app, we knew we had to also show rather than just tell. So we built an example app for developers that would show just how powerful and performant Zoom’s Video SDK could be. It allowed them to visualize it in their own context.

It was also important to both Zoom and Infinite Red that once developers were in, they were in. They wouldn’t have to think about performance or things like incomplete documentation – it would just work and the instructions would be crystal clear.

Our team was constantly iterating on their code and documentation until we arrived our final destination: A React Native Zoom Video SDK that was easy-to-use, lightweight, and customizable.
