Hi, We create an activity using Zoom Api methods. While creating the event, we can set the “meeting\_authentication” value to “true” to make it mandatory for users to login with the Zoom account. In addition, is there a way to ensure that only Zoom accounts belonging to the e-mail we have determined join the event? ---

Hi @omer.aktas, to ensure that these settings are enforced, you will need to set up [Authentication Profiles for meetings](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360037117472-Authentication-Profiles-for-meetings-and-webinars) which the meeting will require. This can require Single-Sign On or users exclusively signed in with your domain. ---

Hi Michael, Thank you for the answer. Most users use gmail or hotmail. In this case, the restriction is not sufficient according to the domain. For example, only [xxx@gmail.com](mailto:xxx@gmail.com), [yyy@gmail.com](mailto:yyy@gmail.com) … accounts can participate in the event. Is it possible? ---

Hey @omer.aktas, If you have common email domains like [gmail.com](http://gmail.com) entering your event, I suggest using Meeting Registration instead. > **[Setting up registration for a meeting](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/211579443-Registration-for-Meetings?zcid=1231)** > > Overview > Scheduling a meeting that requires registration will allow participants register with their e-mail, name, other questions, and custom questions. You can also generate meeting registration ... Thanks, Tommy ---
