Hey @wcareercampus

Thanks for posting on the Zoom Devforum! I am still learning, but I will try my best to help answer your question.

Checkout these related threads that may have the answer you are looking for:

Can you get past meeting participants on "Personal meeting room" instead of scheduled meetings?

Description/Error I want to find past meeting participants via the API, but as we mostly use the ‘Personal Meeting Room’, rather than scheduled meetings they don’t appear to appear in the ‘Past Meetings’ list. Are these able to be called or is it only scheduled meetings? Which Endpoint/s? I’m using ‘Get Past Meeting Participants/Details’ but just generally I can’t get past details.

Rest API to join zoom meeting with personal meeting name

Hey @tommy, Is there any rest api to join zoom meeting with personal meeting name, Or how we will get personal meeting name using rest API. thanks, Prem

These are not what I am looking for.

Hey @wcareercampus,

Try not using the Personal Meeting ID (PMI) when scheduling the meeting.

In the API: settings > use_pmi

In the Zoom Web Portal:

Using Personal Meeting ID (PMI)

Thanks,
Tommy

I already tried turning off PMI from the UI. I am not creating meeting via the API. I am trying to see who went to what event based on a UID we put into the meeting topic. The issue is we hav to manually set the topic every time we launch the meeting.

Hey @wcareercampus,

Are these meetings instant meetings? If so, the meeting topic will default to the “Personal meeting room” title.

Thanks,
Tommy

They are Recurring meetings. So if we start them manually instead of scheduling them they will always be “Personal meeting rooms”?

[tommy (Tommy Gaessler)]

Hey @wcareercampus,

What do you mean start them manually? Can you show how you are starting them?

Thanks,
Tommy

It wont let me upload a photo. but from https://zoom.us/meeting there is a list of meetings. I select ‘start’ from that list.

[tommy (Tommy Gaessler)]

Hey @wcareercampus,

Strange, that should start the meeting occurrence. Do you have a meetingUUID so I can investigate further?

Thanks,
Tommy

Thanks @wcareercampus,

Can you please also provide your request body JSON when creating the meeting?

Thanks,
Tommy

I am not creating the meeting via the API. I am just trying to query out participant info of a meeting that was created via the regular zoom web interface.

[tommy (Tommy Gaessler)]

Hey @wcareercampus,

Please try turning the Use PMI for scheduled meetings setting off, and create the recurring meeting again.

Thanks,
Tommy

[wcareercampus (gwcareers)]

I have already turned that off and it did not fix the issue.

[tommy (Tommy Gaessler)]

Hey @wcareercampus,

Can you share a screenshot of your meeting settings when you are creating the meeting? I need steps to reproduce the issue so I can debug.

Thanks,
Tommy
