Hi @webzdeveloper272,

The start_url should be only used by the host to start the meeting. They will not be able to start the meeting using their Zoom account if they are not the host.
For anyone else please use the join_url.

Thanks

Hi @michael_p.zoom

Thanks for your quick response. Can I add more host while creating meeting from API? If yes, then how can I? I understand we need to use “alternative_hosts” field but those email must need to be added into the main ZOOM account as a user?

Thanks in Advance.

Hi @webzdeveloper272,

Yes, to add more host, you will need to add alternative host and the user needs to have a Zoom account with a license.

Let us know if you need anything else.

Thanks
