API Endpoint(s) and/or Zoom API Event(s)
Zoom Meeting API
Description
We are creating zoom meetings using API (Server to Server OAuth app) as lessons for our students. We noticed that after the meeting is created and using the join link, the joined participant account that appears in the participants list is our main account (owner). Why is that user and not the personal account of the partipant (student)? We need to know the student’s name and email from the API, but now we can’t!

In the screenshot below, I was testing with myself from mobile (host) and laptop (participant) but the zoom app on laptop had the my personal user logged in. When I switched and tested from mobile as participant however, it detected me as my personal user as expected.

Error?
Incorrect participant user

start_time:“2020-03-31T12:02:00”

@madinaharabic when you join the meeting, did you accidentally use your own’s ZAK token?

I used the join url generated from the create meeting api.

5

@madinaharabic that URL has ZAK token embedded, that probably explains why

7

Where is the ZAK token in that?

@madinaharabic if you are using this, and you are already signed in on your browser, you will be joining as the signed in user

Oh, so that would overwrite the signed in user in the app! Ok, thank you.
