Hey @mubashshir.shaikh,

Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. This error typically happens when the authentication for a request is failing. What authentication method are you using and how are you generating the token? Please make sure that you are following the steps in either our [JWT](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/auth/jwt) or [OAuth](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/auth/oauth) guides to authenticate with the API.

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,  
Max

Hey @mubashshir.shaikh,

Thank you for providing additional information. This issue seems like it would be a better fit for our #client-mobile-sdk category but I’ll work to assist you as best as I can before moving this post to that category.

When it comes to obtaining the USER\_ID and the ZOOM\_ACCESS\_TOKEN, we have information in [this document](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/android/mastering-zoom-sdk/start-join-meeting/api-user/authentication) covering how that can be done. I’ve included a snapshot below:

I hope that helps!

Thanks,
