  1. Download the SDK and demo source code.

    1. Download the ZIP package of the SDK by following the instructions provided in Table 1.
    2. Decompress the ZIP package to obtain the following files and directories:
      Figure 1 Directory structure of the SDK package

  2. Copy dependency files.

    1. Run batch processing scripts in the bat directory. For example, to compile a 32-bit Release version, run the copy_dependency_win32_release.bat script. The script automatically performs the following steps:

    • Copy the header files and LIB files of the SDK to the SDK directory.
    • Copy the .dll files and resource files of the SDK to the out directory.

  3. Request an app ID and change the app ID in the demo to the requested one.

    For details about how to request an app ID, see Introduction to App ID Authentication.

    Replace the app ID in SDK\demo\demo\code\demoInitDlg.cpp with the obtained app ID.

    Figure 2 Replacing the app ID

  4. Compile and run the project.

    1. Double-click the demo.sln file in the demo directory.

    2. Select the 32-bit Release version in the Visual Studio.

  5. Use the demo.

    It is assumed that no proxy is deployed on the network, and the PC can directly access the public network. The following describes how to create an instant meeting:

    1. Click Init.

    2. Click Login and enter your Huawei Cloud Meeting account and password.
