When the zoom is started via browser the audio does not automatically enter.

Console:  
js\_media.min.js:1 The AudioContext was not allowed to start. It must be resumed (or created) after a user gesture on the page

Hi @daniel.vieira,

Just to clarify, you want the audio to after the meeting starts?

Thanks

No. I want the audio to start the moment the meeting loads, I believe it is normal.  
But this does not occur. The screen is locked in the “join audio …” button

Hi @daniel.vieira,  
Right now our web sdk is doesn’t allow to load the audio automatically, you will have to select “Join Audio” button.

Can you provide a screenshot of when the screen freezes?

Thanks

Hi @daniel.vieira,

When it freezes, can you open up the dev tools and let me know what error is showing up? Possibly provide a screenshot of that?

Thanks

Hey @daniel.vieira,

Just confirming that this error is happening on our [JS Web SDK](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/Web-Client-SDK/overview)?

Also can you provide steps / code so we can reproduce and debug on our end?

Thanks,  
Tommy

Hi @tommy,

Just confirming that this error is happening on our [JS Web SDK]?  
**YES**

Also can you provide steps / code so we can reproduce and debug on our end?  
**Remembering that the problem is intermittent. So you have to try it several times until it happens.**

Hi @daniel.vieira,

Is this only happening with one meeting ID or multiple? Also, can you provide me your system specs, like OS, browser version, HD space, RAM space?

Thanks

Hi @daniel.vieira,

Thanks for providing me the info. Can you provide me some of the meeting IDs that are used when this happens as well? We’re trying to reproduce the issue on our end.

Thanks

Hi team,

I am also facing this same issue on websdk version 1.7.7 CDN version . I’m using a macbook air 2017, 8GB ram, 1.8 Ghz intel i5, Chrome version 81. The issue does not replicate everytime. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Michael,  
Thanks for the reply. I have figured a workaround for the issue. Instead of waiting for zoom to ask for permissions after initialising the meetings I asked for the audio n video permissions beforehand. This seems to work for all my test cases. Though still not sure what causes this issue. I didn’t take any screenshots but this got this error in the console.

Hey @anmol,

That is a clever work around!

That error usually happens if the Audio tries to start without any user clicks or actions due to privacy.

Thanks,
