Hey Everyone, Due to security and privacy reasons we do not plan to expose how we are generating the encoded password for meetings. That being said, you can securely get the join_url with the password via our API . Thanks for your understanding, Tommy

Tommy, thank you for the information. This endpoint appears to retrieve meeting information only for those who are authorized as creators of the meeting. I wish to generate full URLs for meetings I did not create, for the convenience of combining the meeting ID and password into one URL, as I …

Hey @david3 , An authorized user or the creator of the meeting would need to generate these urls. Thanks, Tommy

Since Zoom omits this functionality, I suggest that you add a new method to generate a URL+password from any meeting Id and its password. There is no reason not to include this functionality. Don’t be lazy. Improve Zoom instead of using it as a cash cow. David Spector Springtime Software

Hey @david3 , I hope you also realize that what you are suggesting would be a huge security vulnerability, if an unauthorized user could get meeting links with passwords, Thanks, Tommy

Nonsense. If you are able to get a URL+link, it is equivalent to getting an ID and password, since the information in a URL+link is the same as the information in an ID and password. Equivalent information means equivalent security, nothing more, nothing less. It is just that a URL is more conve…

Hey @david3 , You can do this programmatically if you own the meetingID: Create a JWT App Use the JWT Token to call the get meeting endpoint , passing in the meetingID A join_url with the encrypted password is returned [Screen Shot 2020-04-23 at 12.18.17 PM] Thanks, Tommy

Dear Tommy, I have explained patiently, several times, that I want a solution where we do not necessarily own the Meeting ID. A URL+encoded password is supposed to be equivalent authorization to join a meeting as compared with the meeting ID and password separately, regardless of whether we crea…

Hey @david3 , I am offering you the ways to generate a join url with the encoded password via the Zoom API. Help me understand your use case for generating these urls? How are you getting the meeting passwords and not the encoded password in the join url? Thanks, Tommy

The use case that prompted this question was a PDF file that contained a URL+password hyperlink, an ID, and a password for a meeting I wanted to attend. You can click a link in a PDF reader to visit the link in a browser, but you can’t copy the link value, at least not easily. So I wanted a simp…

Hi David, At the moment we don’t support this. For now, we would prefer the techniques we use to encode these passwords stay internal. Very sorry for any inconvenience this might cause. Thank you for using Zoom!
