Thank you Elisa for your prompt reply

I can only login with the zoom account that owns the app. If I try to login with other accounts, it shows “Application not found” as below.

I tried many times when I put my app’s client ID and secret to OAuth information. It turns out ask me to approve the app with the app owner account. I believe I’ve done something wrong or misunderstanding the entire flow. Can you show me the correct procedures or any reference documentation for that?

FYI: it is still in development phrase, does it matter?

Btw, in this [thread](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/connect-users-to-zoom-account/81329/5) it mentions that zoom app that are not published can only authorize the owner. Does that mean at development phrase I am not able to user other accounts for authentication, once published I will be able to do so?
