Do I need to implement Oauth for my windows meeting api app?

Meeting SDK
1

Please, I need a clarification:

Do I need to implement OAuth in order to join public meetings from my App? Does joining a public meeting via Windows Meeting Sdk needs a ZAK token?

I know that joining a public meeting requires to publish your app to the marketplace. But in order to publish it, Zoom requires to implement the OAuth flow.

So how can I publish my Windows Meeting SDK App to the marketplace, without implementing OAuth. Or if needed, how can I tell Zoom, that for my app purpuse it’s not necessary to authenticate a user?

I have similar questioning.
We built an app for a client in 2022 that allowed some of it’s users to enter their meeting details and others to join them via the Web SDK but the term changes about third party usage with unpublished apps breaks the platform.
So I’m similarly curious as to whether we can publish the app without needing oauth when our users have control over what meeting link they are showing and we aren’t accessing any of their private information.

@egaron @benjamin.gopp can you try using General App for this?

I asked for a Beta test. Heres is what Zoom said:

> Hello, Thank you for your submission to the Marketplace Beta. We are currently not supporting Authorization URLs for the purpose of conducting beta tests for SDK apps. If you would like to test with users or meetings outside of the developer account, you must go through our standard publishing process and pass both functional and security reviews before being able to join other account’s meetings with your SDK.

Still unclear, what are the requirements for a security test. Does this include Oauth, or not?

This doesn’t really cover the question.
We made a general app, but since the term changes, the app credentials are no longer working without publication - even just to have a zoom embed that joins an already open meeting as a guest.

What I need to know is whether it is required to have the ones hosting the meetings (in their zoom clients) go through the OAuth flow so that our users can join their meetings.

Also, we use the web meeting SDK and we only join already running meetings so it doesn’t seem like there’s anywhere we need to use the Zak Token, yet the publication flow requires says that it is required and asks for a usage description. I’m unsure as to what to answer there.
