Welcome to the Zoom Developer Forum. You will want to call the Zoom Room Join a Meeting API to starts the meeting :

Let me know if this helps.

thankyou for your reply.
I tried to use https://api.zoom.us/v2/rooms/{roomId}/meetings but it did not work.
here is my code
public function start($id)

{

    $path = 'rooms/'.$id.'/meetings';

    $url = $this->retrieveZoomUrl(); //https://api.zoom.us/v2

    $body = [

        'headers' => $this->headers,

        'body'    => json_encode([

            "jsonrpc"=> "2.0",

            "method"=> "join",

            'params'=> [

                "meeting_number" => "3657389592",

                "password"=> "693244",

                "force_accept"=> false,

                "callback_url"=> "https://api.test.zoom.us/callback?token=123"

            ]

        ]),

        'verify' => false

    ];

    $response =  $this->client->post($url.$path, $body);

    //dd($response->getBody());

    return [

        'success' => $response->getStatusCode() === 204,

    ];     

}

hello
I tried to run the same code after opening the (start zoom rooms) Conference room app and I am able to join rooms. but what I want is to start zoom and join rooms only using API. is it possible to start zoom rooms without using the Conference zoom app.

Hi there @bipushrestha

It is not possible to start zoom rooms without using the Zoom app, you need to start the meeting using the Client.

hello
thanks for the reply.
do we need to install the zoom room app in the host system only or do both clients and hosts have to install it?
and lastly, can you tell me how to get meeting_number from zoom rooms? for now, I have been using it manually.
thanks in advance.
