Hello Zoom Marketplace team,

I am submitting a Zoom App for review and need manual domain validation.

App name:  
ElSol Teacher Panel

App type:  
General app / Zoom App SDK / User-managed / Unlisted

Domain requested by Zoom:

> **[Render | The cloud for builders](https://render.com)**
>
> Deploy and scale any app or agent from your first user to your billionth. Build faster on intuitive cloud infrastructure for the modern web.

Actual app URL:

> **[ElSol Run Mode](https://el-sol-zoom-teacher-panel.onrender.com/apps/teacher-panel-run-mode/)**

Legal and support URLs:

> **[Privacy Policy | ElSol Teacher Panel](https://el-sol-zoom-teacher-panel.onrender.com/privacy.html)**

> **[Terms of Use | ElSol Teacher Panel](https://el-sol-zoom-teacher-panel.onrender.com/terms.html)**

> **[Support | ElSol Teacher Panel](https://el-sol-zoom-teacher-panel.onrender.com/support.html)**

> **[Zoom App Guide | ElSol Teacher Panel](https://el-sol-zoom-teacher-panel.onrender.com/zoom-help.html)**

Explanation:  
The app is hosted on Render using the managed subdomain [el-sol-zoom-teacher-panel.onrender.com](http://el-sol-zoom-teacher-panel.onrender.com). We do not own the parent domain [onrender.com](http://onrender.com) and cannot add DNS TXT records or meta tags at the parent domain level. We control the deployed application and files served from this specific Render service URL.

The app is an unlisted Zoom App for controlled beta testing with language teachers. It runs inside Zoom Meetings and uses the Zoom App SDK to send teacher-approved lesson materials to the meeting chat. It does not record Zoom audio/video and does not store Zoom meeting data or Zoom OAuth tokens on the server.

Could you please advise how to complete manual domain validation for this Render-hosted app?
