Hi @tommy, I have the same error. I just cloned [https://github.com/zoom/sample-app-web](https://github.com/zoom/sample-app-web) into my laptop and tried to connect to an ongoing live meeting. I still have a free plan. I have created oAuth/JWT/SDK client apps in zoom. Then provided the SDK clientID and secret in this cloned repository. I cannot join to my meeting. Here is the init() from index.js file under CDN subproject. ``` ZoomMtg.init({ leaveUrl: 'http://www.zoom.us', isSupportAV: true, success: function () { ZoomMtg.join( { meetingNumber: meetConfig.meetingNumber, userName: meetConfig.userName, signature: signature, apiKey: meetConfig.apiKey, passWord: meetConfig.passWord, success: function(res){ $('#nav-tool').hide(); console.log('join meeting success'); }, error: function(res) { console.log(res); } } ); }, error: function(res) { console.log(res); } }); ``` This is what I see on my browser console: `{method: "join", status: false, result: null, errorMessage: "Api key length error, must 22", errorCode: 4003}` Best regards, Jude ---

I just installed the SDK following the process described at [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/web](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/web) I also get the error: “Api key length error, must 22” This looks like it was written by someone who does not speak English well and was written when your API key character limit was 22 characters. My API Key is 36 characters in length. Here is an image of my debugger showing the error in your code: ![zoom-api-key-length-error](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/2X/a/a1f78a02a876600af937713cbb659302f4bedb07.jpeg) I know a fix was promised a few days ago, but this looks like an old bug. Time until fix? Kind Regards, Garry. ---

Thank you for the response @tommy. In my case, the error was because I was using SDK credentials instead of JWT credentials. It worked like a charm after using my JWT credentials. > WebSDK uses JWT credentials as mentioned in the link below.

Hey all … I’m getting an even weirder error. participantId length \> 16 ![Screen Shot 2020-04-28 at 12.08.17 pm](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/2X/3/3256c62e52cc88d5190c44ae4327d867eceb643a.png) I’m using the same user id as always (yesterday it worked fine) … although if I remove it altogether it works and the meeting starts. Does that mean that it is using the **userEmail** as the identifier of the user account and no longer the **participantId** ``` ZoomMtg.init({ debug: false, leaveUrl: 'https://zoom.us', disableInvite: true, showMeetingHeader: false, isLockBottom: false, isShowJoiningErrorDialog: false, success: function(res){ ZoomMtg.join({ meetingNumber: that.meetingNumber, userName: userDetails.firstName, userEmail: userDetails.email, passWord: that.meetingPassword, apiKey: that.apiKey, signature: that.meetingSignature, participantId: userDetails.zoomID, success: function(res){console.log(res)}, error: function(res){ if(res.errorCode > 0){ alert(res.errorMessage); } return false; } }); }, error: function(res){ console.log('some error'); } }); ``` Cheers … ---

Hey @SimoneLabianca, The participant ID should only be a few numbers in length. What are you using for the participant ID? Thanks, Tommy ---

Hey @tommy … I was the using the Zoom User ID as the participant ID. Up until 1.7.4 it worked fine. At this point, I am assuming the email address is enough of a unique identifier for the participant and an actual Zoom account is not necessary to participate in a meeting.
