Hi, I’m new to Zoom. I am integrating Video SDK 1.1.3 into my react app.

I’m creating meeting through /users/:userId/meetings API. generating signature through server side function, mentioned in [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/video/web/build/signature](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/video/web/build/signature).

But while calling the join method or create a signature, no meeting number is required there. only “topic”. as a result, I’m getting  
{type: “JOIN\_MEETING\_FAILED”, reason: “This account does not exist or does not belong to you”, errorCode: 200}

what am I doing wrong? do I have to create meeting via API or not? what is the importance of topic name here?

I’ve also integrated webSDK and in there I could easily join to the meeting.

Hey @APK ,

Joining Zoom meetings with the Video SDK is not supported. You can read about the differences of the Video and Meeting SDK here:

Thanks,

Thanks @tommy . But if I use Video SDK, how do I create a session?
