Hello, We are also having an issue embedding the Zoom meeting into a webpage using SDK. It was working on May 20st, but stopped working on May 21st, and hasn’t worked since. We are receiving a ‘Joining fail message.’ ![MeetingStarted](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/2X/0/0af804840951aa8fc6098e09d10a596ec7ed4081.jpeg) We get a slightly different message if the meeting has not started yet. We have triple-checked our API Key and Secret and they appear correct. We also feel our signature is correct. We are using SDK 1.7.7 with [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) MVC. We have a Business Account and need assistance. Thanks, Rich ---

Hey @dhireshbudhiraja, Are you using Zoom Webinar or Meetings? Due note that only Zoom Meetings can be started via the Web SDK, and you need to pass in `1` for the role. Thanks, Tommy ---

Hey @rschoenfeld, Are you seeing any additional error messages in the browser console? Thanks, Tommy ---

The only other message we get is when the meeting hasn’t started yet. ![MeetingNotStarted](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/2X/9/91ea27bdd037792e61aa6d2c1c4aee42f63fb1dd.jpeg) We were actually using 0 for attendee role. We changed it to 1 and it worked. Doesn’t this work for attendee? This is why we need it embedded… for attendees (not hosts). ---

Hey @rschoenfeld, It does work for participants, role 0, but you need to make sure the meeting has been started first. Thanks, Tommy ---

The meeting has been started, but we still get the same error. ---

Hey @rschoenfeld, Strange, can you please provide steps and code (github repo if possible) so I can reproduce the issue locally? Thanks, Tommy ---
