Follow-up on Issue with Generating Unique Start URLs for Alternative Hosts via Zoom API

API and Webhooks
1

Hello Zoom Support,

I am following up on an issue that was previously raised in 2022 regarding the generation of unique start URLs for alternative hosts using the Zoom API.

Here’s what we are currently doing:

  1. Creating a Meeting: We are creating a meeting using the Zoom API (/meetings). During this step, we specify alternative hosts in the request payload.
  1. Adding Registrants: We are also adding registrants to the meeting using the Zoom API (/meetings/{meetingId}/registrants). However, the alternative hosts are not added as registrants.

Issue: Back in 2022, we encountered a similar issue where we were unable to generate unique start URLs for alternative hosts. We are still facing this challenge and are unsure how to proceed. Specifically, we need unique start URLs for alternative hosts, but since they are not being added as registrants, we are uncertain which API endpoint or parameters to use.

Hey @elisa.zoom

I Found a. way

Step to get it.

  1. add alternate host in settings while creating meeting

  2. make api to get zak token for alternate host by his mail

  3. clone main host start_url notepad and replace alter host zak instead main host zak

Note :
Before ‘?zak=’ in url same for both host’s start
url

By above steps i got unique start urls

If there is better way please let me know
