I am trying to extract the Meeting ID from a Zoom meeting using the Zoom app SDK and am having a hard time achieving this. I have managed to initialize the Unify SDK and have my app communicate with the Zoom server but cannot get the meeting ID to be extract. Does anyone have any tips on other ways to initialize the Zoom app SDK, or have any tips on extracting the meeting ID. I am using JavaScript for initializing the SDK.

Are you creating the meeting using the Meeting API? If so, the ID is returned in the HTTP response.

I am creating a regular meeting in the Zoom app and then trying to extract the meeting ID from there. I realized that I am testing my app on the Zoom app through ngrok, and that may be why I cannot extract a meeting ID. ngrok URL’s act as local hosts on browsers so I think because I am trying to extract the meeting ID through ngrok on the Zoom app, there is no real meeting ID to extract. That is what I think the issue is.

Can you please provide more info? What API endpoints are you leveraging in ngrok?
