Background reference for persistent Zoom event streams. Prefer workflow routing first, then use this file when WebSockets are plausibly better than webhooks.
WebSockets vs Webhooks
| Aspect | WebSockets | Webhooks |
|---|---|---|
| Connection | Persistent, bidirectional | One-time HTTP POST |
| Latency | Lower (no HTTP overhead) | Higher (new connection per event) |
| Security | Direct connection, no exposed endpoint | Requires endpoint validation, IP whitelisting |
| Model | Pull (you connect to Zoom) | Push (Zoom connects to you) |
| State | Stateful (maintains connection) | Stateless (each event independent) |
| Setup | More complex (access token, connection) | Simpler (just endpoint URL) |
