Hello.  
We have a use case where our teachers have to start a meeting using the normal desktop client provided by Zoom, but we need our students to join that meeting using the video SDK for React Native with an app, is it possible?  
Thanks!

Hi @duraznito ,

Seeing as the client uses meetings and the Video SDK uses sessions, cross-joining would not be possible. Would using the [Meeting SDK](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/meeting-sdk/) to create meetings for users to join be a feasible option?

Thanks,  
Rehema

Hi @rehema.zoom  
Thanks for your reply.  
Is cross-joining possible if we use the [Video SDK for Web](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/video-sdk/web/) for the teachers and the [Video SDK for React Native](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/video-sdk/react-native/) for the students?  
I appreciate your help!  
Thanks
