Where do we find all of our User’s host\_id values?  
Example:  
“topic”: “Personal Meeting Room”,  
“host\_id”: “PQ81OgF0SSKUhy0\_C3Kc0g”

This value (host\_id) is part of the information sent via api about meetings when participants join and we want to identify each host\_id value and associate it with the appropriate user in our code. So we need to locate all host\_id values for all of our users.

Hi @michaela .

The host id should be the same as the user’s unique persisting universal id (as long as they are logged in).

@michaela it’s participants.id in many of the meeting related endpoints or just id on the users endpoints.
