_Web SDK_\*

**Description**  
I can successfully create and join meetings on my WebAPP via the meeting SDK in component. I can join the meeting but I can’t figure out how to make the video start on for the users. I have tried setting host video to True. Changing the setting here [Sign In | Zoom](https://zoom.us/profile/setting) and also at the account level. Same with participant video. Neither work and I am pretty stumped now. Any advice?

**Error?**

**Troubleshooting Routes**  
I have searched the forums for solutions and a lot of unresolved topics for this exist. Have tried in both Chrome and Safari

**How To Reproduce**  
Code to join

```auto
onst meetingSDKElement = document.getElementById('meetingSDKElement');
      client.init({ zoomAppRoot: meetingSDKElement, language: 'en-US' })
        .catch((error) => {
          console.error('Error:', error);
        });
          // Start zoom meeting and recording
          getUnauthenticated(`/zoom/${tenantId}`)
          .then((response)=>{
            // Create a meeting 
            client.join({
              sdkKey: response.client_id,
              signature: response.signature,
              meetingNumber: response.meeting_number,
              password: response.password,
              userName: response.user_name,
            }).catch((error) => {
              console.error('Error:', error);
            });
          })

```

Code to create Meeting

```auto
    def create_meeting(self):
        gmt = pytz.timezone('GMT')
        current_time = datetime.now(gmt). __str__ ()
        meeting_details = {
            "topic": "Interview",
            "type": 2,
            "duration": "15",
            "settings": {
                "host_video": True,
                "participant_video": True,
                "join_before_host": True,
                "mute_upon_entry": False,
                "start_time": current_time,
                "watermark": True
                "audio": "voip",
                "auto_recording": "cloud",
                "meeting_authentication" :True,
                
            }
        }

        response = requests.post(f"{self.config.get('audience')}/{_CREATE_MEETING_ENDPOINT}", json=meeting_details, headers=self.headers)
        return response.json().get("id"), response.json().get("encrypted_password")

```

Code to create JWT

```auto
    def get_auth_info(self, meeting_number, password):
        now = int(datetime.now().timestamp())
        expires = now + 60 * 60 * 2
        payload = {
            "appKey" : os.getenv("ZOOM_CLIENT_ID"),
            "sdkKey" : os.getenv("ZOOM_CLIENT_ID"),
            "exp" : expires,
            "tokenExp": expires,
            "mn" : meeting_number, 
            "role": 1,
            "iat" : now,
        }

        jwt_token = jwt.encode(
            claims=payload,
            key=os.getenv("ZOOM_CLIENT_SECRET"), 
            headers={
                "alg": "HS256",
                "typ": "JWT"
            }, 
            algorithm="HS256"
        )

        return ZoomAuthInfo(
            signature=jwt_token,
            client_id=os.getenv("ZOOM_CLIENT_ID"),
            meeting_number=meeting_number,
            password=password,
            user_name=os.getenv("ZOOM_MEETING_USER_NAME")
        )

```
