I have the same questions, [https://devforum.zoom.us/t/account-level-app-get-account-id/33320](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/account-level-app-get-account-id/33320), "I have an account level oauth app. The idea is this app gets webhooks from different accounts. When I get a webhook I want to use the access token to do something. In order to do that I need to know which access token to use based on the account id in the webhook." For example, when a recording completed event come, I’ll get the meeting id, I want to get the meeting detail, so I need to call [https://api.zoom.us/v2/meetings/{meetingId}](https://api.zoom.us/v2/meetings/%7BmeetingId%7D) with Bearer token, but how do I find the access token through the webhook metadata?(The admin authorized our App, I’ll get the access token, but I can’t get the corresponding access token to this event) Many thanks！ ---

Hi @escape813 , We do not officially support the process you’re attempting. Access tokens are not available via webhook by design, but here’s a way to retrieve them to match to account id during initial authorization: > [@Distinguish between multiple Zoom accounts in an OAuth App](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/distinguish-between-multiple-zoom-accounts-in-an-oauth-app/6211/2): > > Hey @tsykul, thanks for posting, and building on the Zoom platform! slight_smile The best way to link OAuth to an account id is to save the access\_token, refresh\_token, and expires date you get from: POST [https://zoom.us/oauth/token?grant\_type=authorization\_code&redirect\_uri={your\_redirect\_uri}&code={authorization\_code}](https://zoom.us/oauth/token?grant_type=authorization_code&redirect_uri=%7Byour_redirect_uri%7D&code=%7Bauthorization_code%7D) (docs: [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/authorization/oauth/oauth-with-zoom#request-access-token](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/authorization/oauth/oauth-with-zoom#request-access-token)) and [JWT decode/parse](https://jwt.io/) the access\_token to get the account id. Then s… Hope this helps! ---

Thanks for your help. I have another question, about the definition of the account id, any user in zoom account is one account id, or any user in zoom account has a different account id? ---

I know from practice that the account ID of the event of the user under the same account is the same . So an account has only a unique account ID, is that right? ---

Hi @escape813 , yes this is correct. Any user under the same account will have the same account id. They will have different user ids. ---
