Page stuck on "Joining Meeting"

Client Web SDK
#1

Description
I’m trying to implement the web sdk inside my rails application. I’m generating the signature in my controller and then, inside my javascript file I’m running this:

import { Controller } from "stimulus"
import { ZoomMtg } from '@zoomus/websdk'

export default class extends Controller {
  static targets = ['container']

  connect() {
    this.initZoom()
  }

  initZoom() {
    ZoomMtg.setZoomJSLib('https://source.zoom.us/1.8.3/lib', '/av')

    ZoomMtg.preLoadWasm()
    ZoomMtg.prepareJssdk()
    
    const {signature, apiKey} = this.containerTarget.dataset

    ZoomMtg.init({
      leaveUrl: 'https://google.com',
      isSupportAV: true,
      success: function() {
        ZoomMtg.join({
          signature,
          meetingNumber: 'xxxxxxxxx',
          password: 'xxxxx',
          userName: 'ilrock',
          apiKey,
          role: 1,
          success: (success) => {
            console.log(success)
          },
          error: (error) => {
            console.log(error)
          }
        })
      }
    })
  }
}

When the page loads, it gets stuck on “Joining Meeting”. No log messages or errors are shown.

Hey @ilrock,

I know this is a strange edge case, but please use passWord instead of password. Let me know if that fixes the issue for you. :slight_smile:

Thanks,

Hey Tommy. That was just a test on my end. I get the same result using passWord

Hey @ilrock,

Can you also try removing the role property? If anything is incorrect in the ZoomMtg.join object, you will experience this issue. You can see the valid properties for the join object here:

Thanks,

Thanks! That worked, somehow I had found the role property in some documentation page. Maybe it was out of date.

I am now getting another error now. It says that the “Signature is expired”. I’m generating my signature on the fly for every page load inside of a rails controller.

This is the code

hash = Digest::SHA256.base64digest(ENV['ZOOM_SDK_SECRET'])
plain_signature = "#{ENV['ZOOM_SDK_KEY']}.XXXXXXX.#{Time.now.to_i}.1.#{hash}"

@zoom_signature = Base64.encode64(plain_signature)

Any idea of what this maybe due to? I wrote the above code using the js/python snippets as guideline.

I also tried generating the timestamps using Time.now.to_i - 30000 but the result is identical.

Hey @ilrock,

Happy to hear we got the original issue sorted out! The role is required when generating the Web SDK signature, so maybe that is where you saw the role in the docs. :slight_smile:

Now, for your Signature Expired issue, checkout this post here and let me know if it fixes the problem:

Thanks,
Tommy
