Hi,

I am trying to set up the in-browser JS client example by following the documentation I found here: [https://zoom.github.io/zoom-sdk-web/tutorial-getting-started.html](https://zoom.github.io/zoom-sdk-web/tutorial-getting-started.html) .&nbsp;I have thoroughly followed the procedure described there:

&nbsp;- Installed the Zoom Client

&nbsp;- Downloaded the code

&nbsp;- Ran npm install

&nbsp;- Updated the files with my evaluation API key/secret

&nbsp;- Ran http-server

&nbsp;- Created a meeting from the Zoom Client

&nbsp;-&nbsp;Opened the browser on 127.0.0.1:8081 (that’s what http-server told me)

&nbsp;- Copypasted the meeting number, added a name, and pressed join.

Nothing happened.&nbsp;

By looking in the console, the library returned me this string

{status: false, errorCode: 200, errorMessage: “No permission”, result: null, method: “join”}

What did I do wrong?

Update: I tried to set MY userName and MY passWord in the join method, and now I think I managed to connect to an existing session… even if I don’t see anything! The video is not visible, and the system prompts me to perform a phone call to get the audio… Is this the intended behavior? This web client seems pretty useless, this way…

Can you confirm that you are still receiving this message?

&nbsp;

I just tested and cannot reproduce.

HI Viacheslav,

&nbsp;

This seems to be a different issue, investigating…

Hi, I actually get the same issue as the OP. I get this “No permission”.

I am simply using the sample code from the Github and I obviously replace the API\_KEY and API\_SECRET with the one from my account.

Is there any more steps to do ?
