Exact same issue. Is this being worked on? Is there an ETA on a fix? Or is this a breaking change that wasn’t communicated? Thanks!

Same issue here, we had to deploy an emergency fix over the weekend because of the unannounced change. Please alert us to breaking changes in advance

Hi All,

Thank you for your patience; our team is looking into this right now. It seems like a breaking change related to some updates. Take a look here: https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/stay-up-to-date/changelog#publications/api-updates-december-20-2021

Ctrl+F for “last name” to see the affected endpoints.

We agree with pkarthik2391. Please confirm if you will be fixing this or not. In our case we were using a space (’ ') for the last_name, and now we are experiencing the error. Our production servers were affected, so we have temporarily replaced ’ ’ with ‘さん’ .

@gianni.zoom Merry Christmas. Could you please help here with an update?

Hi all,

This bug is still in progress for a fix. The ticket is ZOOM-333487 and we hope to have updates soon!

Thank you,

Hi All,

So this has been identified as a breaking change and going forward last_name will continue to be required for these endpoints.

Zoom will be more proactive about being more clear about breaking changes going forward to preserve the efforts of all of you using our APIs.

Thank you,
Gianni

Here, too, the last-name field is suddenly needed when registering a new visitor. If you would like to attend a meeting anonymously on Zoom, join the meeting without logging in to your account. When you join a meeting as a guest, Zoom asks for your name. And you can enter any of your names. You can even become a Wizard of Oz, or Mr.
