## SDK Overview
The Zoom Cobrowse SDK is a JavaScript library that provides:
- **Real-Time Co-Browsing**: Agent sees customer's browser activity live
- **PIN-Based Sessions**: Secure 6-digit PIN for customer-to-agent connection
- **Annotation Tools**: Drawing, highlighting, vanishing pen, rectangle, color picker
- **Privacy Masking**: CSS selector-based masking of sensitive form fields
- **Remote Assist**: Agent can scroll customer's page (with consent)
- **Multi-Tab Persistence**: Session continues when customer opens new tabs
- **Auto-Reconnection**: Session recovers from page refresh (2-minute window)
- **Session Events**: Real-time events for session state changes
- **HTTPS Required**: Secure connections (HTTP only works on loopback/local development hosts)
- **No Plugins**: Pure JavaScript, no browser extensions needed
## Two Roles Architecture
Cobrowse has **two distinct roles**, each with different integration patterns:
| Role | role_type | Integration | JWT Required | Purpose |
|------|-----------|-------------|--------------|---------|
| **Customer** | 1 | Website integration (CDN or npm) | Yes | User who shares their browser session |
| **Agent** | 2 | Iframe (CDN) or npm (BYOP only) | Yes | Support staff who views/assists customer |
**Key Insight**: Customer and agent use **different integration methods** but the same JWT authentication pattern.
## Read This First (Critical)
For customer/agent demos, treat the PIN from customer SDK event `pincode_updated` as the only user-facing PIN.
- Show one clearly labeled value in UI (for example, **Support PIN**).
- Use that same PIN for agent join.
- Do not expose provisional/debug PINs from backend pre-start records to users.
If these rules are ignored, agent desk often fails with `Pincode is not found` / code `30308`.
### Typical Production Flow (Most Common)
This is the flow most teams implement first, and what users usually expect in demos:
1. **Customer starts session first** (`role_type=1`)
- Backend creates/records session
- Backend returns customer JWT
- Customer SDK starts and receives a PIN
2. **Agent joins second** (`role_type=2`)
- Agent enters customer PIN
- Backend validates PIN and session state
- Backend returns agent JWT
- Agent opens Zoom-hosted desk iframe (or custom npm agent UI in BYOP)
If a demo only has one generic "session" user, it is incomplete for real cobrowse operations.
## Prerequisites
### Platform Requirements
- **Supported Browsers**:
- Chrome 80+ ✓
- Firefox 78+ ✓
- Safari 14+ ✓
- Edge 80+ ✓
- Internet Explorer ✗ (not supported)
- **Network Requirements**:
- HTTPS required (HTTP works on loopback/local development hosts only)
- Allow cross-origin requests to `*.zoom.us`
- CSP headers must allow Zoom domains (see [CORS and CSP guide](troubleshooting/cors-csp.md))
- **Third-Party Cookies**:
- Must enable third-party cookies for refresh reconnection
- Privacy mode may limit certain features
### Zoom Account Requirements
1. **Zoom Workplace Account** with SDK Universal Credit
2. **Video SDK App** created in Zoom Marketplace
3. **Cobrowse SDK Credentials** from the app's Cobrowse tab
**Note**: Cobrowse SDK is a **feature of Video SDK** (not a separate product).
### Credentials Overview
You'll receive **4 credentials** from Zoom Marketplace → Video SDK App → Cobrowse tab:
| Credential | Type | Used For | Exposure Safe? |
|------------|------|----------|----------------|
| **SDK Key** | Public | CDN URL, JWT `app_key` claim | ✓ Yes (client-side) |
| **SDK Secret** | Private | Sign JWTs | ✗ No (server-side only) |
| **API Key** | Private | REST API calls (optional) | ✗ No (server-side only) |
| **API Secret** | Private | REST API calls (optional) | ✗ No (server-side only) |
**Critical**: SDK Key is **public** (embedded in CDN URL), but SDK Secret must **never** be exposed client-side.
## Quick Start
### Step 1: Get SDK Credentials
1. Go to [Zoom Marketplace](https://marketplace.zoom.us/)
2. Open your **Video SDK App** (or create one)
3. Navigate to the **Cobrowse** tab
4. Copy your credentials:
- SDK Key
- SDK Secret
- API Key (optional)
- API Secret (optional)
### Step 2: Set Up Token Server
Deploy a server-side endpoint to generate JWTs. Use the official sample:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/zoom/cobrowsesdk-auth-endpoint-sample.git
cd cobrowsesdk-auth-endpoint-sample
npm install
# Create .env file
cat > .env << EOF
ZOOM_SDK_KEY=your_sdk_key_here
ZOOM_SDK_SECRET=your_sdk_secret_here
PORT=4000
EOF
npm start
```
**Token endpoint:**
```javascript
// POST https://YOUR_TOKEN_SERVICE_BASE_URL
{
"role": 1, // 1 = customer, 2 = agent
"userId": "user123",
"userName": "John Doe"
}
// Response
{
"token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIs..."
}
```
### Step 3: Customer Side Integration (CDN)
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Customer - Cobrowse Demo</title>
<script type="module">
const ZOOM_SDK_KEY = 'YOUR_SDK_KEY';
// Load SDK from CDN
(function(r, a, b, f, c, d) {
r[f] = r[f] || { init: function() { r.ZoomCobrowseSDKInitArgs = arguments }};
var fragment = a.createDocumentFragment();
function loadJs(url) {
c = a.createElement(b);
d = a.getElementsByTagName(b)[0];
c["async"] = false;
c.src = url;
fragment.appendChild(c);
}
loadJs(`https://us01-zcb.zoom.us/static/resource/sdk/${ZOOM_SDK_KEY}/js/2.13.2`);
d.parentNode.insertBefore(fragment, d);
})(window, document, "script", "ZoomCobrowseSDK");
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Customer Support</h1>
<button id="cobrowse-btn" disabled>Loading...</button>
<!-- Sensitive fields - will be masked from agent -->
<label>SSN: <input type="text" class="pii-mask" placeholder="XXX-XX-XXXX"></label>
<label>Credit Card: <input type="text" class="pii-mask" placeholder="XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"></label>
<script type="module">
let sessionRef = null;
const settings = {
allowAgentAnnotation: true,
allowCustomerAnnotation: true,
piiMask: {
maskCssSelectors: ".pii-mask",
maskType: "custom_input"
}
};
ZoomCobrowseSDK.init(settings, function({ success, session, error }) {
if (success) {
sessionRef = session;
// Listen for PIN code
session.on("pincode_updated", (payload) => {
console.log("PIN Code:", payload.pincode);
// IMPORTANT: this is the PIN agent should use
alert(`Share this PIN with agent: ${payload.pincode}`);
});
// Listen for session events
session.on("session_started", () => console.log("Session started"));
session.on("agent_joined", () => console.log("Agent joined"));
session.on("agent_left", () => console.log("Agent left"));
session.on("session_ended", () => console.log("Session ended"));
document.getElementById("cobrowse-btn").disabled = false;
document.getElementById("cobrowse-btn").innerText = "Start Cobrowse Session";
} else {
console.error("SDK init failed:", error);
}
});
document.getElementById("cobrowse-btn").addEventListener("click", async () => {
// Fetch JWT from your server
const response = await fetch("https://YOUR_TOKEN_SERVICE_BASE_URL", {
method: "POST",
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
body: JSON.stringify({
role: 1,
userId: "customer_" + Date.now(),
userName: "Customer"
})
});
const { token } = await response.json();
// Start cobrowse session
sessionRef.start({ sdkToken: token });
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
```
### Step 4: Agent Side Integration (Iframe)
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Agent Portal</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Agent Portal</h1>
<iframe
id="agent-iframe"
width="1024"
height="768"
allow="autoplay *; camera *; microphone *; display-capture *; geolocation *;"
></iframe>
<script>
async function connectAgent() {
// Fetch JWT from your server
const response = await fetch("https://YOUR_TOKEN_SERVICE_BASE_URL", {
method: "POST",
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
body: JSON.stringify({
role: 2,
userId: "agent_" + Date.now(),
userName: "Support Agent"
})
});
const { token } = await response.json();
// Load Zoom agent portal
const iframe = document.getElementById("agent-iframe");
iframe.src = `https://us01-zcb.zoom.us/sdkapi/zcb/frame-templates/desk?access_token=${token}`;
}
connectAgent();
</script>
</body>
</html>
```
### Step 5: Test the Integration
1. Open **two separate browsers** (or incognito + normal)
2. **Customer browser**: Open customer page, click "Start Cobrowse Session"
3. **Customer browser**: Note the 6-digit PIN displayed
4. **Agent browser**: Open agent page, enter the PIN code
5. **Both browsers**: Session connects, agent can see customer's page
6. **Test features**: Annotations, data masking, remote assist
## Key Features
### 1. Annotation Tools
Both customer and agent can draw on the shared screen:
```javascript
const settings = {
allowAgentAnnotation: true, // Agent can draw
allowCustomerAnnotation: true // Customer can draw
};
```
**Available tools**:
- Pen (persistent)
- Vanishing pen (disappears after 4 seconds)
- Rectangle
- Color picker
- Eraser
- Undo/Redo
### 2. Privacy Masking
Hide sensitive fields from agents using CSS selectors:
```javascript
const settings = {
piiMask: {
maskType: "custom_input", // Mask specific fields
maskCssSelectors: ".pii-mask, #ssn", // CSS selectors
maskHTMLAttributes: "data-sensitive=true" // HTML attributes
}
};
```
**Supported masking**:
- Text nodes ✓
- Form inputs ✓
- Select elements ✓
- Images ✗ (not supported)
- Links ✗ (not supported)
### 3. Remote Assist
Agent can scroll the customer's page:
```javascript
const settings = {
remoteAssist: {
enable: true,
enableCustomerConsent: true, // Customer must approve
remoteAssistTypes: ['scroll_page'], // Only scroll supported
requireStopConfirmation: false // Confirmation when stopping
}
};
```
### 4. Multi-Tab Session Persistence
Session continues when customer opens new tabs:
```javascript
const settings = {
multiTabSessionPersistence: {
enable: true,
stateCookieKey: '$$ZCB_SESSION$$' // Cookie key (base64 encoded)
}
};
```
## Session Lifecycle
### Customer Flow
1. **Load SDK** → CDN script loads `ZoomCobrowseSDK`
2. **Initialize** → `ZoomCobrowseSDK.init(settings, callback)`
3. **Fetch JWT** → Request token from your server (role_type=1)
4. **Start Session** → `session.start({ sdkToken })`
5. **PIN Generated** → `pincode_updated` event fires
6. **Share PIN** → Customer gives 6-digit PIN to agent
7. **Agent Joins** → `agent_joined` event fires
8. **Session Active** → Real-time synchronization begins
9. **End Session** → `session.end()` or agent leaves
### Agent Flow
1. **Fetch JWT** → Request token from your server (role_type=2)
2. **Load Iframe** → Point to Zoom agent portal with token
3. **Enter PIN** → Agent inputs customer's 6-digit PIN
4. **Connect** → `session_joined` event fires
5. **View Session** → Agent sees customer's browser
6. **Use Tools** → Annotations, remote assist, zoom
7. **Leave Session** → Click "Leave Cobrowse" button
### Session Recovery (Auto-Reconnect)
When customer refreshes the page:
```javascript
ZoomCobrowseSDK.init(settings, function({ success, session, error }) {
if (success) {
const sessionInfo = session.getSessionInfo();
// Check if session is recoverable
if (sessionInfo.sessionStatus === 'session_recoverable') {
session.join(); // Auto-rejoin previous session
} else {
// Start new session
session.start({ sdkToken });
}
}
});
```
**Recovery window**: 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, session ends.
## Critical Gotchas and Best Practices
### ⚠️ CRITICAL: SDK Secret Must Stay Server-Side
**Problem**: Developers often accidentally embed SDK Secret in frontend code.
**Solution**:
- ✓ **SDK Key** → Safe to expose (embedded in CDN URL)
- ✗ **SDK Secret** → Never expose (use for JWT signing server-side)
```javascript
// ❌ WRONG - Secret exposed in frontend
const jwt = signJWT(payload, 'YOUR_SDK_SECRET'); // Security risk!
// ✅ CORRECT - Secret stays on server
const response = await fetch('/api/token', {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify({ role: 1, userId, userName })
});
const { token } = await response.json();
```
### SDK Key vs API Key (Different Purposes!)
| Credential | Used For | JWT Claim |
|------------|----------|-----------|
| **SDK Key** | CDN URL, JWT `app_key` | `app_key: "SDK_KEY"` |
| **API Key** | REST API calls (optional) | Not used in JWT |
**Common mistake**: Using API Key instead of SDK Key in JWT `app_key` claim.
### Session Limits
| Limit | Value | What Happens |
|-------|-------|--------------|
| Customers per session | 1 | Error 1012: `SESSION_CUSTOMER_COUNT_LIMIT` |
| Agents per session | 5 | Error 1013: `SESSION_AGENT_COUNT_LIMIT` |
| Active sessions per browser | 1 | Error 1004: `SESSION_COUNT_LIMIT` |
| PIN code length | 10 chars max | Error 1008: `SESSION_PIN_INVALID_FORMAT` |
### Session Timeout Behavior
| Event | Timeout | What Happens |
|-------|---------|--------------|
| Agent waiting for customer | 3 minutes | Session ends automatically |
| Page refresh reconnection | 2 minutes | Session ends if not reconnected |
| Reconnection attempts | 2 times max | Session ends after 2 failed attempts |
### HTTPS Requirement
**Problem**: SDK doesn't load on HTTP sites.
**Solution**:
- Production: Use HTTPS ✓
- Development: Use a loopback host for local HTTP testing ✓
- Development: Use a local HTTPS endpoint with a trusted/self-signed cert if required ✓
### Third-Party Cookies Required
**Problem**: Refresh reconnection doesn't work.
**Solution**: Enable third-party cookies in browser settings.
**Affected scenarios**:
- Browser privacy mode
- Safari with "Prevent cross-site tracking" enabled
- Chrome with "Block third-party cookies" enabled
### Distribution Method Confusion
| Method | Use Case | Agent Integration | BYOP Required |
|--------|----------|-------------------|---------------|
| **CDN** | Most use cases | Zoom-hosted iframe | No (auto PIN) |
| **npm** | Custom agent UI, full control | Custom npm integration | Yes (required) |
**Key Insight**: If you want **npm** integration, you **must** use BYOP (Bring Your Own PIN) mode.
### Cross-Origin Iframe Handling
**Problem**: Cobrowse doesn't work in cross-origin iframes.
**Solution**: Inject SDK snippet into cross-origin iframes:
```html
<script>
const ZOOM_SDK_KEY = "YOUR_SDK_KEY_HERE";
(function(r,a,b,f,c,d){r[f]=r[f]||{init:function(){r.ZoomCobrowseSDKInitArgs=arguments}};
var fragment=a.createDocumentFragment();function loadJs(url) {c=a.createElement(b);d=a.getElementsByTagName(b)[0];c.async=false;c.src=url;fragment.appendChild(c);};
loadJs('https://us01-zcb.zoom.us/static/resource/sdk/${ZOOM_SDK_KEY}/js');d.parentNode.insertBefore(fragment,d);})(window,document,'script','ZoomCobrowseSDK');
</script>
```
**Same-origin iframes**: No extra setup needed.
