We would like to know if it is possible to inform some user data when connecting to the meeting, even if the user is logged in or out.  
We use meetings created via API, I would like to know if we can pass parameters to _join\_url_ such as name and email, especially email. So that when we search for this data via the _past\_meetings/:meetId/participants_ endpoint  
we can provide more information to our students.

We do not create Zoom users for our students and/or ask them to enter meetings with a username and password. As everyone is free to provide any name, searching for this information via past\_meetings means there is no way to know who the user was during the meeting.
