Hello everybody!  
I ask what are the first steps or tutorials to create with the “API” users who can enter a webinar.  
I am interested in having customized buttons on a website that after login allow me to enter the webinar.  
Thank you very much.  
sorry for my English  
Giuseppe

Hi @zoom11,

Good question! Happy to help clarify.

To create a user, you will need to use this API endpoint:

> **[Create Users - Users - Zoom API - API Reference](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/users/usercreate)**
>
> A Zoom account can have one or more users. Use this API to add a new user to your account.
> Prerequisites:
> 
> Pro or higher plan
> Scopes: user:write:admin u...

Note that if the user only needs to _join_ a webinar, you can create a basic/free user (type 1). If you need the user to be able to _host_ a webinar, however, this will require them to be licensed (type 2).

Let me know if you have any questions about this!

Thanks,  
Will

Thanks and sorry for the delay … I have to try your suggestion … but in the end I had found a solution to register a user for the webinar using this api:

> [https://api.zoom.us/v2/webinars/xxxxxxxxx/registrants](https://api.zoom.us/v2/webinars/xxxxxxxxx/registrants)

that answers me the link to enter.  
Isn’t this the right method? or not?

Hi @zoom11,

Yes, this endpoint will also work for you, and it returns a unique join\_url for registrants to enter the webinar.

Let me know if you have further questions about this. 🙂

Thanks,  
Will

Thanks, it’s very kind of you! Using this api, is there a way to not send the email to the user but only have unique join\_url as a response from the api? is there a parameter that cancels sending the email?

Hi @zoom11,

Yes, you can disable the confirmation email settings. This is covered here:

> **[Customizing webinar email settings](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/203686335-Customizing-webinar-email-settings)**
>
> Overview
> With webinar branding, you can customize the emails sent out to the panelists, registrants, attendees, and absentees of the webinar. The emails are coded in HTML and FreeMarker Format.
> You...

You can also adjust this setting when you [create a webinar via API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/webinars/webinarcreate):
