**Description**  
Is the default component view not support creating the meeting from scratch? The UI seems to enforce a meeting number. Do I need to create the meeting using the API first?

For the normal zoom client, we can just choose click meeting and a meeting number will be created automatically. Does this mean we need to implement this ourselves?

**Browser Console Error**  
The signature is invalid.

**Which Web Meeting SDK version?**  
1.2.7.2

**To Reproduce(If applicable)**  
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. npm install and run the component file
2. launch the login interface at localhost:3000
3. Change the option to “host” and click join
4. See error

**Device (please complete the following information):**

- Device: Macbook Pro 2019
- OS: macOS 12.3.1
- Browser: Chrome
- Browser Version 102.0.5005.61

Correct, the Web SDK does not automate the process of creating a meeting.

Yes, you would want to implement creating a meeting with the API yourself. Here is the [Create a meeting](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/methods#operation/meetingCreate) API endpoint that you can want to leverage.
