How to set "Only authenticated users can join meetings" via the API

[MattPenner]

We are attempting to both query and set the meeting security setting “Only authenticated users can join meetings” with a specific Meeting Authentication Option.

Hi @MattPenner - were you able to find a way to do this through the API? I’m interested in doing the same type of thing for some users. Thanks.

Hey @kevter.tgt, @MattPenner,

You can do so via the Create Meeting API by specifying the meeting authentication settings in the settings object:

Let me know if that helps!

Thanks,

Thanks @tommy the part I was wondering about was setting the capability on the user account. I don’t see a way to use this on the user account.

Hey @kevter.tgt,

Gotcha! You can also do this on the user level via the Update User Settings API, and or the account level via the Update Account Settings API.

Thanks,
Tommy
