Join meeting timeout or signature expired

Meeting SDK Web
1

We are using zoom video call on our apps and web portal , we are facing join meeting timeout or signature expired randomly , trying to figure out to solve the issue.

Version we are using : 1.5
Sample Meeting id :
Account type : PRO
We are using market place JWT api key / secret only
1.5 → has ES5 does it still supported ? since latest releases has ES6

Code sample snippet:

var API_SECRET = ‘’;

var meetConfig = {
    apiKey: API_KEY,
    apiSecret: API_SECRET,
    meetingNumber: parseInt(meetingNumber),
    userName: providerName,
    passWord: "",
    leaveUrl: baseUrl,
    role: 1 // 1 is host, 0 is attendee, webinar just support 0
};


var signature = ZoomMtg.generateSignature({
    meetingNumber: meetConfig.meetingNumber,
    apiKey: meetConfig.apiKey,
    apiSecret: meetConfig.apiSecret,
    role: meetConfig.role,
    success: function(res){
        console.log(res.result);
    }
});

ZoomMtg.init({
    leaveUrl: baseUrl,
    isSupportAV: true,
    success: function () {
        ZoomMtg.join(
            {
                meetingNumber: meetConfig.meetingNumber,
                userName: meetConfig.userName,
                userEmail: meetConfig.email,
                signature: signature,
                apiKey: meetConfig.apiKey,
                passWord: meetConfig.passWord,
                success: function(res){
                    $('#nav-tool').hide();
                    console.log('join meeting success');
                    $("#loader").css("display", "none");
                },
                error: function(res) {
                    console.log(res);
                }
            }
        );
    },
    error: function(res) {
        console.log(res);
    }
});

Hi @vijayk.kannan,

For the signature issue, make sure to use the system time and make sure the time syncs with world time.

  1. Generate a signature by ZoomMtg.generateSignature. - Example of syncing your machine time using window 10
    e1b2c451-e93c-4238-b464-ead68f8cca69

Example for using Mac

1200×950 93.2 KB

  1. Generate a signature by customer web backend with sync server time.

We are currently investigation to see if there is a sync issue on our end as well. We’ll follow up as soon as we’re done looking into it.

Can you post a screenshot of what they see and the developer console errors we want to make sure it’s not a config issue.

Thanks

Thanks for your information , I have raised a ticket about the audio / video issue but still there was no answer about why my own video image was taken out by this release 1.7.2

Hi to all, the issue is with ZoomMtg.generateSignature that method is failing for some reason, if you generate the signature using your own backend as some examples shows It works

Thanks for following up @JuanLopez. You are correct, to generate signatures please use a backend service.

@vijayk.kannan - We need to details so that we can further investigate. Can you post a screenshot of the Video issues within the Web SDK along with a screenshot of the Developer console logs, so that we can see the errors?

Hi Micheael!!

I have this problem with several users, the question is, not everyone can update the time because they are over intranet and the time is the one of their local server. Is there a way to solve it without them having to change the time?

Hey @sandra-rosiles,

Make sure you are generating your Web SDK signature server side in UTC time and it should work.

Thanks,
Tommy
