Hi @Glenn1, welcome to the forum!

An HTTPS Error `401` indicates to me that your auth header is incorrect. Looking at this line:

> [@Glenn1](#):

> `RequestBody body = RequestBody.create("grant_type=client_credentials",mediaType);`

In my application, the `grant_type` I’m using is `account_credentials` not `client_credentials`, so give that a shot.

EDIT: Just to add, I’m also specifying my account ID in the request, which I don’t see in yours:  
`oauth/token?grant_type=account_credentials&account_id=${MY_ZOOM_ACCOUNT_ID}`
