Hi support team,
I want to start a meeting without login to zoom.
Referenced from https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/android/mastering-zoom-sdk/start-join-meeting/api-user/authentication
I used an email address as USER_ID and pass 10 digits meeting ID, then i got this error
This meeting ID is not valid. Please check and try again
I’m little bit confused here,
- Is that USER_ID should already registered with zoom?
- How can i pass a random meeting ID to a user, It may match to another one.
- Is this starting new meeting as host or anything else ?
I exactly want to host a meeting. How can i achieve this?
I’m waiting for your response.
Thanks
Hi mdsafdarsaleem,
Thansks for the post. Regarding your questions:
- The user ID could be your email address or the ID retrieved from https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/users/user. They are identical in the API request.
- What is the random meeting ID you are referring to? If you choose to authenticate with Zoom Rest API and use it in SDK, you will need to schedule a meeting using https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingcreate before start it.
- If you use Zoom token and ZAK to start a meeting, then you will be the host. Otherwise, you will join the meeting as a participant.
If you would like to host as meeting, the easiest way is to login using email/password then start a meeting. If you would like to use the API user, here are the steps:
- Authenticate with Zoom REST API using API key & secret
- Schedule a meeting using: https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingcreate
- Retrieve the zoom token and zoom access token(Zak): https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/users/usertoken
- Pass the meeting ID and tokens to SDK and start the meeting
Hope this helps. Thanks!
Thanks @carson.zoom for your suggestions.
I was using Zoom token and ZAK to start a meeting, but these both tokens was not generated.
Because of these null values it was trying to join a meeting.
Well… now I’m using Login with email & Password then i start a meeting, It is working fine as i expected.
I have one more question.
I want to start each meeting with a different Meeting-ID, is there any possibility ?
