**Description**  
Hi. I’ve worked quite hard to integrate zoom SDK into my react js app.  
I’d like to say that it would be good to change the key name ‘passWord’ to ‘passCode’ in  
ZoomMtg.join method

> **[Join Meeting - Meetings - Build an App - Web - Client SDKs - Zoom Software...](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/web/build/meetings/join)**
>
> Join a Meeting
> 
> Meetings are joined in the Web SDK using the ZoomMtg.init() method to launch the SDK, then the ZoomMtg.join() to join the user into the ...

  
because as the screenshot I’ve attached, this name is passcode, not password.  
I think many devs can be confused and assume ‘passWord’ is user password rather than meeting room passcode like I did.

Also If you don’t mind, I would like to share my demo, how to integrate zoom with react js, I believe many people having a quite hard time integrating it with reactjs. I’d love to contribute.  
Can you link my repo?  
Thanks!

Hey @shawnscoding,

Thanks for sharing that feedback about the `passWord` property! I agree with you and will pass this on to our Web SDK engineers to review. (CS-2458)

As for your React Demo, please do feel free to share the link to it here, we would love to take a look at it! Thanks for contributing to the Zoom Developer Community! 🙂

Thanks,  
Tommy
