Hey @umarraza2200,

Can you try turning your localhost into a [web server](https://ngrok.com/)?

Example here:

> [@Zoom Application Wrong redirect](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/zoom-application-wrong-redirect/4402/5):

> Hey @subhan, This issue only happens with localhost urls. To solve this you could use [https://ngrok.com/](https://ngrok.com/) to turn your localhost server into a free server with a url, and replace the localhost redirect url with the ngrok url. Instead of [http://localhost:8080/api/v1/zoom/complete-oauth](http://localhost:8080/api/v1/zoom/complete-oauth) it would be [https://d4c4477b.ngrok.io/api/v1/zoom/complete-oauth](https://d4c4477b.ngrok.io/api/v1/zoom/complete-oauth) This way you can still develop and test locally and have your redirect url work! Let me know if this helps!

Let me know if this works!

Thanks,  
Tommy
