### I am submitting my app “Executive AI Assistant” to the Zoom Marketplace and need manual domain validation. My app is hosted on Replit’s managed cloud platform at **[https://ai-assistant-talhalodhi123.replit.app](https://ai-assistant-talhalodhi123.replit.app/)**

The domain registered in the Marketplace is `replit.app`, which is Replit’s shared infrastructure domain. I do not control the root DNS of `replit.app` — Replit (the hosting provider) owns it — so automated HTML file verification and TXT record methods both fail.

I have hosted the Zoom verification file at the subdomain I do control:

[https://ai-assistant-talhalodhi123.replit.app/ZOOM\_verify\_e82479b3861444f9968638d9681daa66.html](https://ai-assistant-talhalodhi123.replit.app/ZOOM_verify_e82479b3861444f9968638d9681daa66.html)

Requesting manual domain approval to proceed with app submission.

* * *

**How To Reproduce:**

> 1. App type: User-managed General App (OAuth 2.0)
> 2. On the App Submission page, click **Verify** next to `replit.app`
> 3. Select **“Upload an HTML file to your domain”** — verification fails because Zoom checks `https://replit.app/ZOOM_verify_...html` (root domain), not our subdomain
> 4. Select **“Add TXT Record”** — fails because we cannot modify DNS for the root `replit.app` domain
> 5. Error: domain verification cannot be completed via automated methods for apps hosted on Replit’s shared platform
