I am getting the following response from Zoom when I try to join a meeting as the meeting organizer:

{“type”:“JOIN\_MEETING\_FAILED”,“reason”:“Fail to join the meeting.”,“errorCode”:200}

Thing is, it does not happen when I join the meeting as a mere participant. It happens when I am the meeting organizer joining the meeting.

Here is the Javascript code:

```
function startMeet(meetingId) {

    if (!meetingId) {
        jQuery('#errorWarn').html('ERROR - meeting ID does not exist');
        
        return;
    } else {
        jQuery('#errorWarn').html('');
    }

    const iat = Math.round(new Date().getTime() / 1000) - 30;
    const exp = iat + 60 * 60 * 2;
    const oHeader = {alg: 'HS256', typ: 'JWT'};
    
    const oPayload = {
        sdkKey: '<?= $sdkkey ?>',
        appKey: '<?= $sdkkey ?>',
        mn: meetingId,
        role: 1,
        iat: iat,
        exp: exp,
        tokenExp: exp
    }

    const sHeader = JSON.stringify(oHeader);
    const sPayload = JSON.stringify(oPayload);
    const sdkJWT = KJUR.jws.JWS.sign('HS256', sHeader, sPayload, '<?= $sdkSecret ?>');

    const client = ZoomMtgEmbedded.createClient();
    let meetingSDKElement = document.getElementById('zmmtg-root');
    $.ajax(
        {
            method: "GET",
            url: "/providers/getZoomDak",
        }).done(function (msg) {
        
        msg = JSON.parse(msg);
         
        client.init({
            debug: true,
            language: 'en-US', 
            zoomAppRoot: meetingSDKElement,
            enforceMultipleVideos: true, minimumParticipantsForGalleryView: 2, 
            customize: {video: {disableDraggable: true, isResizable: false, viewSizes: {default: {width: 800, height: 500}, ribbon: {width: 300, height: 700}}}}
        }).then(() => {
                client.join({
                signature: sdkJWT,
                meetingNumber: meetingId,
                userName: "<?= $_SESSION['web']['providers']['provider']['titulo'] . ' ' . $_SESSION['web']['providers']['provider']['nombre'] . ' ' . $_SESSION['web']['providers']['provider']['apellido'] ?>",
                sdkKey: '<?= $sdkkey ?>',
                password: '123456',
                zak: msg.zak,
                success: (success) => {
                    alert(success)
                },
                error: (error) => {
                    alert(JSON.stringify(error));
                }
            }).then(() => {
                alert('joined successfully')
            }).catch((error) => {
                alert(JSON.stringify(error));
            })
        }).catch((error) => {
            alert(JSON.stringify(error));
        })
 });
}

```

Notice the role is 1. It doesn’t happen when role is not 1. I already check the response from [https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/me/token/?type=zak](https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/me/token/?type=zak). Nothing wrong there. I am using version 3.1.6, and before that I was using version 2.17.0.

I have run out of options. Don’t know what’s going on anymore.
