I am the developer of PresenceLight, a tool that currently allows users to broadcast thier Microsoft Teams presence to various smart lights. I want to enable Zoom support, but I am unable to because Zoom api does not support localhost as a redirect uri. I need this as I spin up a local http server in the background which will kick off the OAuth flow. Is this something that could be lit up with little effort? > **[GitHub - isaacrlevin/presencelight: PresenceLight is a solution to broadcast...](https://github.com/isaacrlevin/presencelight)** > > PresenceLight is a solution to broadcast your various statuses to light bulbs. - GitHub - isaacrlevin/presencelight: PresenceLight is a solution to broadcast your various statuses to light bulbs. ---

Hey @isaac.r.levin, Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. I appreciate the background there, it was very illuminating. I think this is a great idea and your use case shines a light on where we can improve. From here, if you would like this feature to be considered for a future release, I recommend posting in the [#feature-requests](https://devforum.zoom.us/c/feature-requests/23) category. In the meantime, you may want to instruct the users to run something like [Ngrok](https://ngrok.com/) to create a public tunnel to their local system. From there, they would want to use the paid version to assign a static subdomain to their account. Thanks, Max ---

That won’t quite work as I need to register the uri with Zoom, it can’t be just some random URL.
