## Prerequisites

See the [Changelog](/changelog) for the **latest** supported Zoom Meeting SDK version. See [Minimum SDK version](/docs/meeting-sdk/minimum-version/) for the **minimum** supported version.

### General requirements

-   To use the Blueprints functionality of the Meeting SDK for Unreal, make sure you meet these requirements.
-   Have a JWT token for the Meeting SDK for Windows, and (optional) a ZAK token for user authentication across our developer platform. See [SDK authorization and PKCE OAuth](/docs/meeting-sdk/unreal/integrate/) for more details.
-   To run the demo app, you'll need a meeting ID and passcode.
-   By default, the Meeting SDK for Unreal is only supported on Unreal Engine versions 5.3.2.
-   Set the **Default RHI** for Unreal Engine to DX12 or DX11.
    -   Set the D3D12 Targeted Shader Format to SM5 or SM6.
    -   Set the D3D11 Targeted Shader Format to SM5.

### Development requirements

To develop extended functionality in C++, you will also need

-   Visual Studio 2022 or later
-   Zoom Meeting SDK 5.17.2 or later
-   Unreal Engine 5.3.\* or later

> **Note** The Meeting SDK for Unreal supports the same version as the Zoom client. See <a href="https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0060748">Zoom system requirements: Windows, macOS, Linux</a> for details.

> **Note**
>
> Universal Windows Platform (UWP) is not supported.

### Use high bandwidth mode

By default, the Meeting SDK limits the number of video subscriptions activated via raw data. This restricts the ability to work with multiple HD video feeds inside of Unreal. To have this restriction lifted, contact Zoom Support and request access to SDK High Bandwidth (High Bandwidth mode) on the account that you used to create your Zoom App Marketplace listing. Applications created by accounts with the SDK High Bandwidth flag can subscribe to 30 Mbps of incoming video from Zoom. If your app requires more than 30 Mbps of bandwidth for downlink, contact [Zoom Developer Advocacy](https://explore.zoom.us/en/support-plans/developer/).

## Compile the SDK files into your project

1. Open your project in Unreal Engine, and when prompted, compile the plugin. This may take several minutes.
1. Unreal Engine automatically launches after the plugin is compiled for your engine version, and will be available in your project.
