Help me on creation of zoom bot

Meeting SDK
1

Hi, I am building zoom bot which can join the meeting with invitation link and record and transcribe.
I faced many issues.
I used GitHub - zoom/meetingsdk-headless-linux-sample: A demo on creating a headless meeting bot using the Zoom Meeting SDK for Linux and Docker as boiler plate.
it works closely when the bot joins into the link I made.
But it can’t join other meetings which is made by another accounts.
in this case, meetingFailedcode63.
What is the reason?
Hope your kind assistant.

Hey there,
I had a similar issue when I was building my bot. It turns out that Zoom requires you to publish the bot for it to be able to join meetings from Zoom accounts other than the one it was created with. You can read more here: Publishing apps - Zoom Developers
If you do not wish for the bot to publically available, like I did, you can publish it as an unlisted app.

The publication process does require a bit of annoying documentation, but the team was really helpful.

If you have any other questions I would be happy to help if I can : D

You are very welcome, I hope it helps.

Do you have any specific issues that you need help with? You can contact me at noahviktorschenk@gmail.com if you have something specific.

I should also note that I am in no way an expert and have and am facing quite a few issues myself when trying to build my Zoom App, but I would be happy to help with any issues I can.

Hey Yaskiv,

Noah is correct that you’ll need to publish your Zoom application before your bot will be able to join meetings hosted outside of your workspace.

If you’re interested in publishing your application so that it can join externally-hosted meetings, you might want to check out the Recall.ai API.

It’s a simple 3rd party API that lets you use meeting bots to get raw audio/video/metadata from meetings without you needing to spend months to build, scale, and maintain these bots.

We’ve also helped hundreds of customers successfully navigate the Zoom app submission process, and even have a guide for it here: App Submission Guide

Here are the API docs:
