How do I "schedule" zoom room meetings since JWT deprecation means no more Zoom Room api apps?

Description
I have developed a JWT app that uses elements of both Zoom api and Zoom Rooms api (mainly to schedule meetings for zoom rooms). I have 2 questions.

1. As the Zoom Rooms api appears to remain JWT only, is it also going to be deprecated or will it remain active and JWT accessible? I’m guessing no since no new JWT apps are allowed.

2. How do I create a zoom meeting for a Zoom Room using the Zoom api? In trying to migrate my app completely to OAuth, I am needing to replace the Zoom Room api https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/zoom-rooms/zoom-rooms-api/#schedule functionality with the Zoom api https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/methods/#operation/meetingCreate. I am not quite sure how to do that. I found Max M’s response in this post: How to create Zoom Room meetings with a public app? but don’t fully follow it. I’m not sure what he means by a “Zoom Room User”. Is creating a meeting for a zoom room possible with the Zoom api, or is this a functionality gap currently created by deprecating JWT (and consequently Zoom Room api) and limited functionality for zoom rooms in Zoom api?

Please see the deprecation notice at the top of this document for more information

You’re right to identify that there is a gap here with our REST API that was previously covered by the JSONRPC API.

In most cases, you should be able to add a calendar event to the calendar used by the Zoom Room.

Let me know if that helps.

Hi Max,
sorry for this intrusion, but it is one of the few posts on this topic and I try to ask for information here:
We have created a collaboration application that embeds zoom and at the moment everything works perfectly.
The app provides access for some guests to the room created by your application with the main account, so in our app there is no main user authentication, but only with the access to the room as a guest.

Can you tell me how deprecating JWT will impact room access for a guest?
Can you be specific about what we need to do to maintain this room access within our app.
For the organization of the meeting there are no problems, it is done directly from your zoom application and not from the app.
Thanks in advance,
Laura

Hi @ldc @gman ,

Sharing here for anyone else looking for up to date info:

Zoom API / Zoom Rooms API - missing functionality

Hi @wrdev - I can share a few notes that may help clarify things. This is an updated link to the Zoom Rooms “PATCH Use Zoom Room controls” API that provides functionality relatively equivalent to the deprecated JWT Zoom Rooms APIs: Zoom Rooms API Please note that unlike the JWT Zoom Rooms APIs, the PATCH Use Zoom Room controls API will always respond with “202 Accepted” (I see you mentioned this, I repeat it merely for others that may find this forum post in the future). Between the date the …
