Hey @a.sawant,

Which of [our SDK’s](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/preface/introducing-zoom-sdk) are you wanting to use?

Thanks,  
Tommy

Thanks for your reply @a.sawant,

To start a meeting via our [JS Web SDK](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/Web-Client-SDK/overview), simply change the `role` value in the `meetConfig` object to `1`

Here is a [quick tutorial](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/meeting-not-started/5040/5) on how to get our [sample app](https://github.com/zoom/sample-app-web) to create a meeting.

Let me know if this helps!

Thanks,  
Tommy

Hi Tommy,

Thank you! This solves my problem.  
I have one more question. When I install your Local version of sample app, webpack breaks.  
This is the output I get:

Project is running at [http://0.0.0.0:9999/](http://0.0.0.0:9999/)  
ℹ ｢wds｣: webpack output is served from /static  
ℹ ｢wds｣: Content not from webpack is served from /mnt/4A18EE3818EE22A5/workspace/zoom/sample-app-web/Local  
events.js:167  
throw er; // Unhandled ‘error’ event  
^

Error: spawn [http://localhost:9999/index.html](http://localhost:9999/index.html) ENOENT

Hey @a.sawant,

Can you provide steps to reproduce, I did not get any errors.

Also what version of the JS Web SDK, NPM, and Webpack are you using?

(You can post your package.json here for all that info ^)

Thanks,  
Tommy
