@prathmesh_patil ,

Yes, this workflow is possible, but your app will have to be reviewed and published. For this, see the below links:

## Start meetings and webinars with a Zoom user’s ZAK token

> **[Meeting SDK Auth](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/meeting-sdk/auth/#start-meetings-and-webinars-with-a-zoom-users-zak-token)**
>
> The Zoom Developer Platform is an open platform that allows third-party developers to build applications and integrations upon Zoom’s video-first unified communications platform.
