Meetings Start Without a ZAK Token

Honestly the title says it all. I am able to consistently start meetings without a zak token being passed into ZoomMtg.join().

Zoom Version 2.15.2

Was this requirement removed and I missed it? Or is there a bug? Is there an account setting somewhere that removes this requirement?

@sales1

as long as the role is set to 1 in the init params, and in the signature, you will be able to start the meeting as host.

I’ve just tested it, and verified that it is working. If you see anything otherwise, response and tag me.

@chunsiong.zoom so the ZAK token is no longer required to start meetings then? I’m not sure what you mean by this is “working”. Yes we can start meetings just fine, and we supply the zak token. However during testing I was able to start a meeting without a zak token. This seems counter to the documentation.

I’m not sure what you mean by this is “working”.

I can start a meeting using role :1 without specifying the ZAK token.

Could you share which part of the documentation might be ambiguous?

@chunsiong.zoom Check out Meeting SDK Auth

Also see Meeting SDK - web - client view - Meetings Both the Prerequisites and Start Meeting sections talk about the host zak token being necessary.
