I tried using the `zoomus-jssdk` package in my app and use the demo code shown in tutorials. ```auto import React, { Component } from 'react'; import { ZoomMtg } from 'zoomus-jssdk'; const API_KEY = ''; const API_SECRET = ''; ZoomMtg.setZoomJSLib('https://dmogdx0jrul3u.cloudfront.net/1.4.2/lib', '/av'); ZoomMtg.preLoadWasm(); ZoomMtg.prepareJssdk(); export default class ZoomLive extends Component { componentDidMount() { const meetConfig = { apiKey: API_KEY, apiSecret: API_SECRET, meetingNumber:, userName: 'Test user', passWord: '', leaveUrl: 'https://zoom.us', role: 0 }; ZoomMtg.generateSignature({ meetingNumber: meetConfig.meetingNumber, apiKey: meetConfig.apiKey, apiSecret: meetConfig.apiSecret, role: meetConfig.role, success(res) { console.log('signature', res.result); ZoomMtg.init({ leaveUrl: 'http://www.zoom.us', isSupportAV: true, success() { ZoomMtg.join({ meetingNumber: meetConfig.meetingNumber, userName: meetConfig.userName, signature: res.result, apiKey: meetConfig.apiKey, userEmail: 'email@gmail.com', passWord: meetConfig.passWord, success() { console.log('join meeting success'); }, error(res) { console.log(res); } }); }, error(res) { console.log(res); } }); } }); } render() { return 'Loading'; } } ``` But keep getting error in ZoomMtg.join function. I tried the same api keys and secret in sample-web-app here ([GitHub - zoom/sample-app-web: Zoom Web SDK Sample App](https://github.com/zoom/sample-app-web)) and that seemed to work, so there doesn’t seem to be issue with my account configuration. As the code is minified I’m not able to debug much, but seems like the meeting status of object is set to empty here: `if ('init' !== oe.currentMeetingInfo.status)`. ---

Hey @shahankit2313, Are you init-ing the meeting first? Check out this: [https://zoom.github.io/sample-app-web/ZoomMtg.html#init](https://zoom.github.io/sample-app-web/ZoomMtg.html#init) Let me know if that helps ---

Yup I’m using the exact same code as in sample. ```auto ZoomMtg.generateSignature({ ... success(res) { ZoomMtg.init({ ... success() { ZoomMtg.join({ ... success() { console.log('join meeting success'); }, error(res) { console.log('join meeting error', res); } }); }, error(res) { console.log(res); } }); } }); ``` ---

Hey @shahankit2313 I found the issue, Place these two lines above your `meetConfig` declaration ```auto ZoomMtg.preLoadWasm(); ZoomMtg.prepareJssdk(); ``` This should fix the “Please init meeting” error, but it’s possible another error could arise: “The account don’t enable API.” Which we are working on fixing. Let me know if this fixes the “Please init meeting” error 🙂 ---

> [@tommy](#): > > ZoomMtg.preLoadWasm(); ZoomMtg.prepareJssdk(); Hi @tommy , I had already added these two lines, but still getting the error. I updated the post with entire contents of file. Also I don’t think I would get account dont’t enable APIs because I tried scheduling a meeting from my account and use the meeting in the sample web app on github and it worked fine. ---

Hey @shahankit2313, Are you using SDK or JWT API\_KEY and API\_SECRET? Try using JWT credentials if you have not already. Also, you must have a Pro or Free trail zoom account to use the JS SDK. [https://zoom.us/pricing](https://zoom.us/pricing) Let me know if this helps, Thanks ---

The same issue in VueJS with zoom-jssdk 1.5.0. I’ve got keys from pro account and they work well in the sample app. My code and also [https://github.com/xinton/vue-zoomus-jssdk-sample](https://github.com/xinton/vue-zoomus-jssdk-sample) Vue example always returns: {method: “init”, status: false, errorCode: 3008, errorMessage: “Please init meeting first!”, result: null} Both signature and init calls are successful. Role (0/1) doesn’t matter. ---

Hey @jozo.kovac, When trying to run `npm run serve` to start your project I get this syntax error, ```auto Syntax Error: SyntaxError: /Users/tommygaessler/Code/vue-zoomus-jssdk-sample/src/components/ZoomFrame.vue: Unexpected token, expected "}" (32:6) 30 | 31 | export default { > 32 | name: "ZoomFrame", | ^ 33 | data: function() { 34 | return { 35 | src: "", ``` Please fix this so I can debug why you are getting the `Please init meeting first` error.

Thanks for your efforts, it’s very appreciated. It’s not my repo, I just hope it’s supposed to work well. I’ve tried various things and the results in VueJS are always the same: 3008. There are 2 lines just above ‘export default {’ var API\_KEY = \; var API\_SECRET = \; Just replace \<…\> them with real credentials “…”. There’s also an issue with jQuery dependency that can be resolved with “npm install --save jQuery” (± some other dependencies) Ultimately it works well but shows 3008 error. The same key + secret + meeting id work well in the official sample web app. Official is pure JS and I hope we can make it work in Vue as well. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/2X/7/75aae06ac7f13c4679727a0b4b3e2dbc17f66a69.png) ---

I’ve finally fixed it. It was an issue with jQuery. Steps to reproduce if anybody would be interested: 1. Remove script tag that loads external jquery in public/index.html 2. Add a line line to main.js just above new Vue: window.$ = require(‘jQuery’) ---

Hi @mamta.dhaka, You will need to call the ZoomMtg.init function first and then ZoomMtg.init within the init function. Without doing so, you will receive the error. Thanks ---
