Hi Mr [Kwaku](https://devforum.zoom.us/u/kwaku.nyante)

Thanks, your replied to me.

I have settled and activated the Server-to-Server OAuth apps with assistance of Mr Jave V of Zoom Support yesterday

However, I’ve few questions appreciate your advise as below:

Mr Jave V has sent me the link on guidance and recommended me to watch the Youtube video regarding this: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkBE7CHVzho](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkBE7CHVzho)

However, based on the video there are portion on technical related to programming which was too technical for me to proceed further.

Therefore, he replied to me said that:

**“You do not have to do this if you will not use the server-to-server Oauth for your meetings”**  
As such, what does this statement means? And In what circumstances will use Server-to-Server meeting?

I thought was to ease of developer to access on token instead via JWT

Hello @km.chong you can use it either way you can create a server to server app that creates meetings on behalf of your user or you can create one solely for generating tokens to do other functions in your environment.
