Hi @tech10, you can create meeting via Zoom REST API calls.

In your web application, do a HTTP POST request to this endpoint  
[https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/methods/#operation/meetingCreate](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/methods/#operation/meetingCreate)

Hi Vivek,

API and SDK are complementary to each other.  
If you are using Web SDK, chances are that you will be using javascript related programming languages.

You can use javascript to make a HTTP POST request to Zoom API to schedule a meeting, and thereafter join the meeting using Web SDK.

@chunsiong.zoom, I would like to ask you how to authenticate the user on the web SDK component option.
