Openness of Huawei Cloud Meeting

Introduction

Both Huawei Cloud Meeting server and clients are open and available for integration. You can integrate diverse capabilities of Huawei Cloud Meeting in the following three ways:

  • Server integration: Huawei Cloud Meeting provides open REST APIs for enterprise, user, corporate directory, and meeting management, meeting control, and dashboard. Third-party service systems (including service backends and terminal apps) can call related APIs to implement their own service logic.
  • Client SDK integration: Developers can use the open client SDK of Huawei Cloud Meeting to integrate capabilities such as creating and joining meetings as well as performing meeting control. The SDK has integrated the in-meeting UI. Third-party applications only need to call a few APIs to integrate video capabilities of Huawei Cloud Meeting into their applications.
  • Client scheme integration: Third-party applications (including web pages and terminal apps) can use parameters defined in URL protocol to directly start the Huawei Cloud Meeting client and join meetings.

Integration Scenario 1: Third-Party Systems Schedule Meetings on Huawei Cloud Meeting and Start the Client to Join Meetings

A third-party application can call REST APIs of the Huawei Cloud Meeting server to schedule a meeting. Application users only need to click the URL provided by the application to start the Huawei Cloud Meeting client and join the meeting.

Application scenario: Third parties want to manage and schedule meetings in their own service systems and allow users to join meetings using Huawei standard clients.

For details about REST APIs, see the Server API Reference. For details about the URL for starting the client, see Terminal Scheme Application Integration.

Integration Scenario 2: Third-Party Applications Quickly Integrate Huawei Cloud Meeting Client Capabilities Using UI SDK

A third-party application calls the client UI SDK APIs to quickly integrate meeting functions. You only need to develop an entry on your application, then you are free to call corresponding APIs to schedule, create, and join meetings. Meeting control operations and GUI are ready for you to use directly.

Application scenario: Third parties want to integrate the meeting capability into their apps. The UI provided by the UI SDK meets their requirements.
