OSC/ISO
This module gives you deep control of Zoom through controllers like the StreamDeck. Using ZoomOSC and ZoomISO, it provides a seamless way to manage participants, with their names displayed on the keys. It’s a zero-code, drag-and-drop solution with advanced options for custom workflows.
You will need to configure these settings in ZoomOSC/ZoomISO UI
127.0.0.1 if on the same computer).There are a number of configuration options for the module that allow you to configure how to communicate with ZoomISO/ZoomOSC, how many internal groups to track, Participant Multi-State feedback, Social Stream Ninja integration, and advanced performance tweaks.
ZoomISO/ZoomOSC Transmission IP (e.g. Target Host): Match ZoomISO/ZoomOSC Transmission IP.
ZoomISO/ZoomOSC Receiving Port: Match ZoomISO/ZoomOSC Recieving Port.
ZoomISO/ZoomOSC Transmission Port: Match ZoomISO/ZoomOSC Transmission Port
Default Selection: Select one participant at a time or Select multiple participants simultaneously.
Number of selectable groups:
One of the most powerful features of this module is the ability to place participants into groups. Just like participants, groups are referenceable and selectable. You can index into groups with variables to display their members. Buttons with these properties are automatically available in the Presets area under Manage Selections and Groups, where new buttons are generated based on the number of groups specified during setup.
Default Groups
There are two default groups. These groups are automatically managed by the module, so you cannot add or remove members manually or change the group properties:
Group Management
Group Use Cases
Once users are assigned to groups, you can easily select a group (e.g., "Panelists") and apply actions like Add Spotlight to the entire group.
Sync iso configuration time in sections (only for ZoomISO): How often to update the ZoomISO audioLevels, outputRouting, audioRouting, and engineState. The default is 1 second.
Participant Multi-State Feedback
This module supports various dynamic feedback options to enhance your workflow and button functionality. One key feature is multi-state feedback for participants, providing real-time status updates for their camera, mic, and hand raise. Each status has an icon with both "on" and "off" states for easy visualization.
Disable (Not recommended unless you don’t need feedback indicators.)
Bottom (On and Off for Mic/Camera, Only On for Hand Raise)
Bottom (Only Active States)
Bottom (On and Off Active States)
These configurations provide flexibility to tailor feedback based on your needs. The default presets use multi-state feedback to ensure a seamless experience, but advanced users can adjust settings as required.
Send Zoom Chat to Social Stream Ninja
One of the configuration options, is to send chat messages to Social Stream Ninja. In order for this to work, you need to provide your social stream ninja session id in the module configuration.
Once the integration is turned on, you will need to update the urls you are using for your Social Stream Ninja browser source within OBS or other streaming software.
Install Social Stream Ninja Configuration
You can install Social Stream Ninja at https://socialstream.ninja/landing#manually-install-extension. We suggest manually installing the extension as that is the most update to date version.
Social Stream Ninja Configuration
You need to configuration Social Stream Ninja so that it will allow you to make API calls to it and to get your Session Id
Social Stream Ninja Dock
Social Stream Ninja includes a web page to see all of the message using the url below (replace XXXXXXXX with your social stream id)
https://socialstream.ninja/dock.html?session=XXXXXXXXX&server&server2&sync&label=main&limit=300If using OBS, you can make this url a custom browser dock.
Lower 3rd
Social Stream Ninja has a built-in lower 3rd that you can reference by using
https://socialstream.ninja/index.html?session=XXXXXXXXX&aligntop&server&server2
If you are using OBS, you can create a browser source on a scene and use url above (replace XXXXXXXX with your social stream id) and set the following properties
Advanced - Optional Performance Tweaks
IMPORTANT NOTE: The advanced optional performance tweaks is for power users that would like to tweak the module performance.
Depending on your usage of ZoomOSC and ZoomISO, there may be things going on behind the scenes that you may not be using and can disable to try to get even better performance from this module.
Enable Variable for Each User (variables that are the ZoomId for each participant)
The module tracks a variable for each user based on their ZoomId but the ZoomId changes every time they enter the meeting, so within the module we do not use these variables for anything but for legacy purposes, we have not removed them.
It is suggested to turn this setting off.
Enable Variable for Participants (e.g. Participant001 to Participant999)
This impacts the participant presets, participant buttons, and participant variables. For many shows, these buttons are not used as it is the list of all participants in the order that they joined and for large meetings, it is typically quicker to find a person using the Zoom participant list and manually taking action on them.
Most people use the Gallery buttons over the participant buttons as it is way easier to find people in the Gallery since you can sort the gallery by first name.
If you want to keep previous behavior of keeping these variables updated, set to true keep the behavior of previous versions.
Sync Action/Presets/Feedbacks
As participants, groups, and zISO are updated behind the scenes, it is:
Keeping all these in sync is important and needed when setting up your button layout but when you are running the show you are typically not updating the design of your buttons, so you do not need to pull in new presets, adding / removing groups, or picking a different options from the option dropdowns.
Set to true keep the behavior of previous versions.
If you do need to sync the values manually, there is a new action called "Update Actions/Feedbacks/Presets with current Zoom Data".
Select user(s), then apply action(s).

This is a community-driven project utilizing the open APIs of ZoomOSC/ISO. While Zoom (and formerly Liminal) have designed its behavior, they hold no liability for this module or its upkeep. Ultimately, it is managed by and the responsibility of the open-source Companion community, Bitfocus, and its users.
