**Description**  
Hello, I’m having trouble connecting to a webinar via SDK Web, im putting everything correctly but I can’t seem to find the option to turn off email required…

Anyone have the same problem?

**Error**  
Joining meeting timeout.

User email is required.

When I try to start a meeting everything runs perfectly, but with a Webinar things get complicated in this step.

Thanks

Hi @rpflores,

You would need to include the userEmail parameter within the ZoomMtg.join function to join a webinar as an attendee. Let us know if this works for you.
