**Description**

> After I call InitSDK and AuthorizeSDK with my appKey and appSecret, I try to join a meeting using this code:
> 
> ```
> Dim join_api_param As New JoinParam4WithoutLogin()
> join_api_param.meetingNumber = UInt64.Parse(txtMeetingID.Text.Replace("-", ""))
> join_api_param.userName = "GeoZoom"
> If txtUserName.Text <> "" Then join_api_param.userName = txtUserName.Text
> 
> Dim param As New JoinParam()
> param.userType = SDKUserType.SDK_UT_WITHOUT_LOGIN
> param.withoutloginJoin = join_api_param
> 
> Dim Err As SDKError = CZoomSDKeDotNetWrap.Instance.GetMeetingServiceWrap().Join(param)
> 
> ```

Then the meeting status changed callback gets called with a status of “Connecting” followed by a status of “Disconnecting”

This was working perfectly with the previous version of the sdk.

**Which version?**  
v5.0.24433.0616 ← using this version now

Hi @snickel,

Thanks for the post. Please refer to the implementation in the demo app to join a meeting: [https://github.com/zoom/zoom-sdk-windows/blob/092e360f63f8ede7b5a9e838df97f084d6cec3f3/demo/sdk\_demo\_v2/LOGIN\_sdk\_login\_UI.cpp#L307](https://github.com/zoom/zoom-sdk-windows/blob/092e360f63f8ede7b5a9e838df97f084d6cec3f3/demo/sdk_demo_v2/LOGIN_sdk_login_UI.cpp#L307)

Thanks!

I am following that code exactly and am able to join the meeting.  
I get a SDKERR\_SUCCESS result from the call to Join.  
But then the MeetingStatusChanged callback gets called with a status of “DISCONNECTING”. So I join, then get disconnected immediately.

I had that when it was a meeting that required sign in.

This meeting did not require a sign in. I started it myself in my personal meeting room on a different computer.
