Hi @sharwan

Welcome to the Zoom Developer Forum and to our community! I am happy to help here!  
It looks like you are trying to call the Zoom Rooms API using OAuth as an authentication method.  
As stated in our Documentation, you should use JWT for authentication to access this API

> **[Zoom Rooms API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/zoom-rooms/zoom-rooms-api/)**
>
> The Zoom Developer Platform is an open platform that allows third-party developers to build applications and integrations upon Zoom’s video-first unified communications platform.

Hope this helps,  
Elisa

Thank you for your response, Elisa.

Does Zoom Room not support OAuth? Is there any possibility to use Oauth Authentication in Zoom Room Api?

We have read through the documentation, and it is mentioned that zoom support Oauth while Use JWT for Zoom room Authentication.

If it is not supported currently, is there a future plan to support Oauth in Zoom room api.

Thanks  
Sharwan

Is there any update on Oauth support for the Zoom room API? We’re trying to update our software to migrate from using JWT to OAuth 2.0 per the Zoom API documentation found here: [https://developers.zoom.us/docs/integrations/oauth/](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/integrations/oauth/) and we are receiving errors stating that this API does not support OAuth 2.0.
