Greetings, @Felippe, Thank you for posting in the Zoom Developer Forum. I reviewed the video but can’t reproduce that behavior on my end so I will need additional information. Can you share the meeting configuration set for that meeting? If the meeting is scheduled via API, please share the create meeting API request. This will help diagnose what may be happening. I will keep an eye out for your response. Best, Donte ---

Thanks for the response! This was someone else’s meeting. Is it not possible to join other people meeting with the SDK Client? ---

@Felippe, Thank you for posting and calling attention to the behavior you are seeing. I’ve created an internal ticket to have this investigated further [ZSEE-37278]. More to follow as updates become available. Best, Donte ---

Thank you! Before you getting an answer, can you just tell me if what I’m trying to do should be possible? Joining someone else’s meeting that requires login using the web SDK? If it should be possible, I’ll wait, otherwise I have to change my plans now ---

@Felippe, Pulled a new version of the Web SDK 2.1.1 and tested it again, and I can confirm sign-in with [Only authenticated users can join meetings from Web client](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/web/client-view/meetings#join-auth) and waiting room enabled works. Can you test again and with the sample app and let me know if the behavior persists? [Here is a loom video for your reference](https://www.loom.com/share/29141cf5832e452da854f5aab091bfbd) ---

Hi @donte.zoom! I was able to login with my localhost. But deployed version running under a URL won’t run it. Is there any special kind of configuration that I need to do related to my domain? Can you test yourself log in in a login-required-meeting using this client? [http://maestro-on-chrome.insidethe.show/](http://maestro-on-chrome.insidethe.show/) Same code works on localhost ---

@donte.zoom Hi! Bumping this up. I’ve came to a way of replicating the problem, which is running the default repository with no modifications in the cloud. What changes should I make to enable authentication when I deploy instead of running locally? ---

@Felippe, The authentication workflow should work the same when deployed. It seems like the behavior you are seeing may be related to your network firewall settings. When testing, be sure the appropriate inbound and outbound rules are set for the cloud provider hosting your Application. Down below, I’ve linked our Zoom network firewall or proxy server settings help documentation for reference: > **[Zoom network firewall or proxy server settings](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362683)** > > If your app stays in a "connecting" mode or has timed out due to Network error, please try again or Can't connect to our service, please check your network connection and try again issues, it could...

I have found the solution. It is not proxy. The error that I’ve described in the first posted was about a `postMessage` method not being found in `window.opener`. The `window.opener` is the browser instance that opened the window that was responsible for authentication. The opener was in my domain address and the authentication popup was in zoom’s address. Because my `Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy` was set to `same-origin`, the browser respected that and didn’t fill in the `window.opener` for the Zoom popup. The solution was setting up the `Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy` on my site so that it could accept the Zoom domain. Now everything is working! ---

Glad to hear you were able to resolve the issue. I will pass this thread along to our documentation team for consideration. Perhaps we can make updates to our [Improve Performance in Chrome](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/overview/improve-performance) help documentation. For other community members, please post the exact solution/resources that you found helpful. This will be of great help, and fellow community members will benefit significantly.

@donte.zoom Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the solution was a false alarm. Gallery View requires COOP to be “same-origin”. Login popup requires COOP to be off. The solution I’ve found was to disable COOP, which makes the gallery view stop working. How can I have Gallery view AND login at the same time with the Web SDK? ---
