Could you change the host name at start_url meeting?

When creating a meeting with api it is possible to pass some type parameter
?prefer=1&un={base64Encode_Name}

Hey @raphael.paez, good question.

There is no way to change the hosts name when using the start url.

However, after doing a brief test, if you attach the zak={{ token }} query param to
https://zoom.us/wc/{{ MEETIND_ID }}/join?un=Y3VzdG9tIG5hbWU=&prefer=1 and go to the url, it will start the meeting as the host, and change the hosts name.

For example:

https://zoom.us/wc/{{ MEETING_ID }}/join?un=Y3VzdG9tIG5hbWU=&prefer=1&zak={{ TOKEN_FROM_START_URL }}

Let me know if this helps!

Thanks,
Tommy
